I live in Tassie and have seen the evolution of fish farms in the south of the state over past 20 years. From just a couple of warts on the horizon in the early 2000's to a complete breakout of them in the d'entrecasteaux channel just south of Hobart. They now started building them offshore in open oceans off Bruny Island. But it only takes one good storm to obliterate the pens. This happened last year and a massive amount of salmon escaped. Then there was a fishing frenzy up and down the coast in every estuary as the salmon naturally tend toward these area. Punters were hauling in fish bigger than they ever dreamed. Driving home with eskies packed to the brim. The trouble with Salmon for many folks out there is that it is so fucking delicous. And when you are in a deli and it sits innocently in the window its too hard to connect it to all this. Just like pork belly to cruelly treated caged pigs. Marthas looks like such an epic surf spot. I hope I get to surf it one day. Mostly, I really hope those cowboys take the hint and don't go near the place. Well filmed and put together. Rasta, come visit us southerners more often mate! ! I better start buying Patagonia wetsuits from now on and help support the good causes they are getting behind. Kudos to Patagonia and all those who get off their asses to try and make a positive difference in the world. Signing off from the saggy couch ;-)
In Ecuador... Shrimp Farming.... Biggest exportnother than petróleo all over europe China usa....Has destroyed Huge percentages of mangroves destroyed where actual non pumped up shrimp larvae hatch , and has lowered the fish as well be cause everything comes from the mangroves... Not to mention the waves...they are changing because of change of beach dynamics because of the ignorance people have and have disturbed the natural flow... The worst thing that happened to Ecuador chemicals in our rivers
Excellent video. Many thanks for producing a piece on such an important topic. Even Tasmania, as remote as it's location may be, is affected by capitalistic-styled, mindless greed and environmental exploitation.
Bonjour a todos ! I'm French, a little country ........ thank you Patagonia for all the jobs realized since many years. Another aburdity of this so strange period !! Let's have a look on this book ! Isla Nova / Jérome Camut et Nathalie Hug The fight must go on comme le disait Freddy ! Cordialement Besos
Just to be clear, I support this action completely. The first speaker said I don't eat farmed salmon, something is wrong with this first of all they are not in the Atlantic. Salmon is a huge part of the Pacific Northwest and granted we have our issues. But certainly salmon coming from the Pacific Ocean is a thing. Wild salmon such as Chinook, Sockeye and Coho are wonderful.
This was interesting. I was in the Faroe Islands in June and there is some fish farming there with some of the same controversy. I have the same negative reaction to wind farms in the ocean, although they present different environmental issues.
good sentiments but its literally a drop in the ocean in terms of whats happening in the world, and the problems the earth is facing. At least in Australia, there are some laws and regs surrounding the fish farming industry, theres state govt departments such as fisheries, national resources, parks and wildlife (a version of each , in each state) filled with smart people who monitor businesses such as this. What we really need to be doing is make our services available to help our neighbours such as Indonesia, Fiji, etc who aern't as good at managing their eco systems and fisheries. I applaude Patagonia for making the vid and highlighting this issue, but I think they need to send Rasta up to Sumatra/indo and do a piece on what fish farming, unregulated fishing has done..the ocean is dying..its on its last gasp up there... and noone is doing anything about it!!! Patagonia..you have bigger fish to fry..
A lot of people go out of their way to eat fish for the omega 3 oil content. Problem with farmed salmon is they dont have the concentration of omega 3 that wild caught fish do. The reason being, omega 3 oils are not produced within animals, but rather they need to eat plants which contain omega 3 oils. Farmed salmon are not given a natural diet, they are fed pellets. So they are not a part of the natural food chain that would deliver the omega 3 oil to the fish, that would then benefit people for consuming the salmon. Unless somethings changed and now they fortify omega 3 in the pellets. But i doubt it
@@justinlowery6017 And we do benefit Omega 3 from eating plants. Sense is subjective, because eating fish makes sense to me. They're pretty yummy and nutritious.
Ocean production like any other industry MUST be conducted with all measures, certificates and regulations that RESPECT NATURE. OCEAN PRODUCTION can do that! We must be involved and develope new ways to produce food taking care of the ocean! We can do that! We will reach that goal! 💙🌊
They farm Atlantic salmon in Tazmania? Why not pacific? I'm guessing prices or something. Probably doesn't matter what fish it is. Living in the UK i always thought this was a more sustainable method of fishing. Obviously a lack of science behind choosing suitable places. Real shame that this could possibly happen
I totally agree with what he is saying just wondering what the carbon footprint of pro surfers would be a year ?? How many boards do they get shaped for themselves MMMMM what chemicals are used in those boards and wetsuits ???
Nice piece but I’m not sure a boy from fuckin Byron telling everyone in the world about Martha’s is a positive either 300 People In water in the next few years
So where does Patagonia make its products? China. Where does China get its power from? Cheap Coal from Australia. What are Patagonia products made from.... Oil based synthetics.........how environmental is Patagonia?????
Horrors! If one eats at chain restaurants and orders seafood on the menu, the chances are quite high that it is farmed. Do not support aquaculture products!
I'm a big fan of this brand and it values.... But.. This brand is also a fraud.. Sorry.. But you have products made in china that are not what they say they are... Ie. Ive brought many products from your brand you bio T's are one of my fav's and 100% .. But the purchase of a hat threw up many Qs. after I had a allergic reaction from the ink... 1st and only hat I've had this happen.. I've collected hats since 90s...
Humans need to stop breeding. The more mouths we have the more food we need to produce. At least farming should take some pressure off fishing the native stock. Going to a small community and attempting to destroy their economy is probably not the way to go. Why not come up with an alternative solution to farming for the locals as well. Just my opinion.

Keep it up Patagonia
here in Chile we have the same salmon farmers problems , on the southest oceans
Thank you Patagonia

They did trail running/Tarkine now surfing/Martha. Should do save the Grampians for climbing.

Very 'fishy' indeed, good one Rasta!

Best company in the world
I live on king island
Same deal in the Scottish Highlands. Marine Harvest. Marine Monsanto
1:22 incredible shot!
great video! keep up the good fight
Absolute slice of heaven. Criminal not to protect.
what a beautiful place
✨🌎 Keep King Island Fish 🐠 Farm Free 🌊❣️
Where was this surf spot again exactly?! 😁
with you all the way - how do we support?
So the other option is? Kooks
Got a Patagonia wetty. It's awesome
It’s lucrative and a tough business
Patagonia yes ....fish farms Hell no
They farm Atlantic salmon in Tazmania? Why not pacific? I'm guessing prices or something. Probably doesn't matter what fish it is.
Living in the UK i always thought this was a more sustainable method of fishing. Obviously a lack of science behind choosing suitable places. Real shame that this could possibly happen
Spectacular
Can I do the music for the next video?
I totally agree with what he is saying just wondering what the carbon footprint of pro surfers would be a year ?? How many boards do they get shaped for themselves MMMMM what chemicals are used in those boards and wetsuits ???
No offence and all but King Island was never inhabited to any aboriginals and obviously not any torres strait northern qld tropical melanesians.
I see the video but at the same time if the Ph of the water was that bad the fish would die
the fishing there is fucked for local varieties such as flat head etc.
Nice piece but I’m not sure a boy from fuckin Byron telling everyone in the world about Martha’s is a positive either 300 People In water in the next few years
fish farming is so precious. we have to keep developing it as a nature friendly industry.
So where does Patagonia make its products? China. Where does China get its power from? Cheap Coal from Australia. What are Patagonia products made from.... Oil based synthetics.........how environmental is Patagonia?????
Just don't eat seafood. Easy
WHY DID YOU SAY THAT NAME!!!!
Caleb Dal Din I thought about that too 😂😂
Horrors! If one eats at chain restaurants and orders seafood on the menu, the chances are quite high that it is farmed. Do not support aquaculture products!
Tasmania is another disappointment. Lack of integrity, greed, and common sense is rampant.
Very sad . criminal .

Y'all shouldn't eat wild caught fish either. Overfishing of the oceans is going to fucking bite us in the ass.
Stop this bull. No more fish farming.
Nachhaltigkeit? 🙄
