The 'Tassie Tiger of the Sea' is on the brink

The Maugean Skate, nicknamed the 'Tasmanian Tiger of the Sea,' is on the brink of extinction, with salmon farming in the region threatening its natural habitat. So will Federal Environment Minister Tanya Plibersek be able to fulfill her promise of no new extinct species by 2030, or will the Skate become another relic of the past?

This was recorded on Tuesday 4th July 2023 and things may have changed since recording.
