Woolworths, ALDI and Coles are selling salmon and ocean trout that’s putting Tassie’s living dinosaur, the endangered Maugean Skate, at risk of extinction.

The big supermarkets are slapping misleading sustainability claims and logos all over salmon products from Macquarie Harbour – the skate’s last remaining habitat. Waste from industrial fish farms on Macquarie Harbour uses up all the oxygen in the water and suffocates the skate. It’s not sustainable.

We’re compiling evidence to show the supermarkets are misleading customers and we need your help gathering proof from all around the country.

We’ve created a quick and easy survey for you to fill out next time you visit your local Woolies, ALDI or Coles. Can’t make it to a supermarket store in person? No worries! Head to your supermarket's website and ask them to save the skate and stop selling extinction.

Scientists say the skate is one extreme weather event from dying out. And we’re barrelling towards a summer full of extreme weather.

The supermarkets could stop buying salmon from Macquarie Harbour now and force the fish farming industry out. But this won’t happen without a big wave of public pressure from shoppers.

We’ve done this before. Ekō members like you completed secret shopper surveys at Bunnings Warehouses exposing its bias towards toxic glyphosate products. The resulting Bunnings Files led to the stores changing the way it sold weed killers.
