  • SWANSEA: the Hub of the East Coast Unpack Once and Explore the East Coast
    SWANSEA: The Hub of the East Coast Unpack once and explore the East Coast P a g e | 1 A Leisurely Day in Swansea Locals love coming home to Swansea – we crest the hill near Kelvedon Beach and can feel the tension start to leave us. We want you to do the same – enjoy the slower pace, allowing yourself the time to relax and recharge! If you’re an early riser, this might mean catching a beautiful sunrise whilst walking along one of our many beaches all of which look out across Great Oyster Bay toward the Hazards at Coles Bay; soak up the peace and quiet and stop to take in the beauty. Swansea was settled in the 1820’s as Waterloo Point, and is one of Tasmania’s oldest towns. In fact many families living in Swansea today are descedants of these original settlers. Pop into the Visitor Information Centre and get a copy of the Heritage Walk booklet and you’ll be able to take a self-directed walk around town to learn about historical businesses, homes and iconic landmarks. You might even come across one of our older locals who’s willing to have a chat. You could also visit the East Coast Heritage Museum; there’s always a great display and passionate staff to share their knowledge. Stroll along Franklin Street (the main street) to find your perfect breakfast spot: - Barkmill Bakery, Artifakt Café & Gallery, Saltshaker. After breakfast, why not take a gentle walk right in the heart of Swansea; a walk that offers stunning coastal scenery.

  • 93/161 Tasmanian Scallops Pty Ltd Principal Inve
    FINAL REPORT OF THE MARKETING AND TRANSPORTING OF LIVE SCALLOPS PROJECT NUMBER: 93/161 TASMANIAN SCALLOPS PTY LTD PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR NAME: HARUO MORIYA ADDRESS: PO BOX 50, TRIABUNNA, TASMANIA 7190 TELEPHONE: 002 573 614 FAX: 002 573 616 NON-TECHNICAL SUMMARY The demand forli ve scallop is quite strong. The main customer of live scallop is restaurants. Restaurants require the freshness to attract their customer. Live scallop is good to impress the freshness. The freshness is the key word to add value to scallop product. The freshness of live scallop is indicated by the mortality. The company examined the effectof air exposure on mortality that arises from transporting. The company developedthe means of maintaining live scallop condition through the result of examination. The company introduced sea water cooling system for on-shore storage. Cultured scallop is attached by oyster, mussel, sea squirt and other marine life. It needs cleaning. The company used to do this by hand. The company introduced the shell cleaning machine. Economical advantage was tested by comparison between hand cleaning and machine cleaning. When transportingli ve scallop, insulation and keeping cool are important factor. The best combination of packing material is verifiedby examination. Scallop live market is still embryonic. The company requested the University of Tasmania to study overseas and domestic live scallop market. The company framed a marketing strategy through that study. BACKGROUND PROGRESS IN SCALLOPAQUACULTURE In 1967, D.C.Wolfeand J.F.Grant deployed spat collectors in Promise Bay on Tasmania's east coast. Although this work continued until 1973, no attempt was made to increase the scale of the work.

  • Community Questions and Answers
    COMMUNITY QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS On Saturday 18th June 2016, Tassal held a community information day at the Triabunna Community Hall. The event was well publicised in both Triabunna and Orford and well attended. The questions below reflect those posed by attendees on the day. How can we trust Tassal? Recognising that transparency of our operations helps to build trust, Tassal has been voluntarily and openly reporting on our operations through our annual sustainability reports for the last 5 years. The reports are structured within the Global Reporting initiative (GRI) framework (GRI 3 and G4). Each year we undergo a “Stakeholder Materiality” assessment which helps us to focus report content on the issues which matter to our stakeholders. Since releasing our first Sustainability Report in February 2012, Tassal has consistently rated amongst the top 3 Salmon companies globally for transparency in Corporate Social Responsibility in the Seafood Intelligence benchmarking process (http://www.seafoodintell.com/). Additionally, Tassal’s Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC) certification against the Salmon Standard is the Gold Standard of environmental certifications available to us. The ASC Salmon Standard was developed over a period of 9 years through the “Salmon Aquaculture Dialogues” (http://www.worldwildlife.org/pages/creating-standards-for- responsibly-farmed-salmon) which involved scientists, the World Wildlife Fund, Salmon industry participants. The ASC is the Standard Holder and the 3rd party auditing body is independent of the WWF and the Salmon Industry. We chose this Standard because of the transparency of the assessment process and the independence of the Standard Holder and 3rd party auditing body. For further information phone 0362 449 011 or email [email protected] or visit the Tassal website at www.tassal.com.au 1 All Tassal Sustainability Reports and ASC reports are publically available on our website at http://www.tassal.com.au/sustainability/our-sustainability-reports/ Tassal is an ASX listed Company.
