The Glamorgan Springbay council and Marine and Safety Tasmania have both been made aware of the risk to people’s safety ... Enough is enough," he said. : Mark Tapsell
22.01.2022 "What does it taste like?" is one of the questions we're asked most when our divers ascend from the deep with a bag full of sea urchin (uni) ready to sample on ...our Deep-to-Dish experience. Served fresh from the shell the flavour is delicate, creamy and ocean-like with a hint of sweetness and saltiness. Are you keen to sample some of Tasmania's freshest seafood?

19.01.2022 Shark!!! Check out this incredible vision! FULL STORY: https://ab.co/2Pbbukg There's been another shark encounter in Tasmania, with a father and son having a... close call earlier today. Sean and James Vinar were at Tenth Island about ten kilometres off the coast at Beechford, when a shark hit the side of their boat. Mr Vinar says he's "certain" it was a great white shark, around 3-and-a-half to 4 metres long. It's the second shark encounter in Tasmania in recent weeks, with a 10-year-old boy pulled into the water by a shark near Stanley in the state's north west 12 days ago. : James Vinar

11.01.2022 A privileged few get to wander the labyrinthine tracts of east Tasmania’s giant kelp forests; fewer still because they’re all but gone, writes Dan Down in the l...atest issue of Wilderness.

Incredibly, he is on the cusp of success. There is hope.' https://journal.wilderness.org.au/issue-003/ Photo: Kelp forest - IMAS
