Demand Woolworths and Coles stop selling salmon farmed in Macquarie Harbour – the only home of the endangered Maugean skate, a prehistoric species on the brink of extinction.
Sign the pre-written letter now, and we’ll ensure it physically reaches the head offices of both Coles and Woolworths. Unfortunately, neither Coles nor Woolworths have a direct email address for customer feedback.
Maugean skates could become extinct in less than 10 years, with the primary threat being intensive salmon farming that consumes what little oxygen is available in the water, literally suffocating the Maugean skate to death.
Woolworths and Coles are among the biggest buyers of Tasmanian salmon. They know the science. They know the risks. By continuing to sell salmon from Macquarie Harbour, they are contributing to the decline of this species and adding to the pressures that could ultimately drive it to extinction.
As major Aussie retailers, Woolworths and Coles have a responsibility – and the power – to help save the Maugean skate.
