Email Minister Ogilive to ensure strongest possible Marine Environment Act

We have been advocating for a Marine Plan and Marine Law reform in Tasmania with the community for several years now. And it's happening! The premier announced a commitment to a Marine Environment Tasmania Act which will shake up how our precious marine environment is managed.

It's time to keep the pressure on and show just how important Tasmania's marine environment is to you, the community.

We need a strong Marine Environment Act that will:

• Prioritise marine ecosystem health over corporate interests

• Measure and manage the cumulative impacts on the marine environment

• Prioritise healthy oceans through ecosystem-based management and marine spatial planning.
• Prioritising the protection of marine habitats

• Give a voice to the community using a meaningful consultation tools such as Co-Design

• Recognise First Nation’s Tasmanians’ rights to marine resources and inclusion in marine planning

• Address impacts to our oceans from climate change, such as the invasive Long-spined sea urchin,and accelerate Tasmania’s transition away from fossil fuels including gas.
