21.01.2022 In recognition of NAIDOC week, we are reflecting on the rich history - past and present - of Tasmania's Indigenous community in fishing and seafood. The following is 2 of 2 excerpts we're sharing this week from our booklet 'An Oral History of the Tasmanian Seafood Industry - Volume 2: South'. Bryan Denny is a modern day, proud indigenous commercial fisher who has not lost sight of his ancestor’s respect for and reliance on the sea. ‘I’ve always been proud of my indigenous he...ritage. My ancestors actually farmed the ocean. There’s middens around the west coast that are 50 metres high, they look just like sand dunes from a distance’. ‘Sea Country was a prime source of food for indigenous mobs 1000’s of years ago and they looked after it for 40 odd thousand years’. ‘I actually look at myself as one of those indigenous custodians of Sea Country. I encourage everyone to take a bit of care and responsibility, and actually look after the fish, put the undersized ones back on the bottom properly and treat them with care’. ‘To me it is not a financial thing, it’s because I love being on and under the water’. Image: Bryan's fishing vessel, Motunui, with the Australian Aboriginal Flag on display.

01.01.2022 This afternoon TSIC launched our newest offering: Seafood Trails. Speaking from Mures at the Hobart waterfront, TSIC Chief Executive Julian Harrington said: Fresh local seafood is an integral part of Tasmania’s culture, and we hope locals can get on board the first taste of the Seafood Trails app whilst out and about this school holidays." We have developed a simplistic but functional web-based app, which works just as well on your mobile phone, tablet or computer, said T...SIC Project Manager Emma Woodcock.

01.01.2022 In August 2020, the Tasmanian Commercial Divers Association were part of a collaborative effort between the Handfish Conservation Project and Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies - IMAS, working alongside DPIPWE to tackle one of the key issues threatening red handfish populations: habitat loss through urchin overgrazing. A team of TCDA divers removed an incredible 1276 kg (almost 17000 native urchins) across two sites where handfish were subsequently released. Although not all the urchins were of harvest quality, TCDA President Renison Bell commented that contributing to a good cause and helping red handfish populations was worth their effort.
