- **Event Name**: Hobart: Small Fish, Big Questions: A Community Evening on Sardines
- **Event Start and End Date**: Wed, 04 Mar, 2026 at 08:00 am – Wed, 04 Mar, 2026 at 09:30 am
- **Event Description**: Sardines may be small, but they play a vital role in Tasmania’s marine ecosystem. With a new large-scale sardine fishery proposed — beginning at extracting 7,500 tonnes per year with potential expansion — many in the community are asking what this means for ocean health, local fisheries, seabirds, marine life, and coastal communities. Not to mention, where the sardines are likely destined for: fish feed for salmon farms.

Join us for an informative evening featuring short films and speakers exploring the ecological role of sardines, and what the proposal could mean for Tasmania’s waters.

This is an opportunity to learn, ask questions, and be part of a respectful community conversation about the future of our ocean and Bass Strait.

Craig Garland - MP and former professional fisher
John Stanfield - RecFishTas
Dr Tony Koslow - retired CSIRO scientist
Lesley Kurek OAM - Volunteer Seabird Carer
