Fundraising for the Maugean Skate

The Maugean Skate is Tasmania’s largest endemic fish. These ancient Gondwanan relicts live only in the tannin-stained waters of Macquarie Harbour where they have resided for countless generations. However, they are one of the State’s most endangered marine species and face a very high risk of extinction due to the impacts of fishing, habitat and climate change.

The Friends of the Henty, a Strahan-based Wildcare group are raising funds to increase community awareness of the plight of the Maugean Skate by the commission of local artists to create works for permanent public display and actively supporting sufficient, predictable and long-term scientific research programs.
