Fisheries Around Tasman Peninsula 117 FISHERIES AROUND TASMAN PENINSULA by A.I. Harrison Department of Sea Fisheries, Ta smania The waters around the Tasman Peninsula have sustained commercial fishing for more than 150 years. Prior to 1950 the area was a major supplier of rock lobster (crayfish), and scale fish for the Hobart market. Since 1965 abalone diving has become a most important commercial fishery. Recently the peninsula's protected bays have become prize sites for aquaculture. Initially this form of marine farming was directed at shellfish, particularly oysters and mussels. Cage culture of rainbow trout and Atlantic salmon recently has become important. Key Words: Tasman Peninsula, Tasmania, commercial fisheries, recreational fisheries, aquaculture. From SMITH, S.J. (Ed.), 1989: IS HISTORY ENOUGH? PA ST, PRESENT AND FUTURE USE OF THE PRESOURCES OF TA SMAN PENINSULA . Royal Society of Tasmania, Hobart: 117-119.

    1979/3. Groundwater, mineral resources and land stability in the Tasman Peninsula. W.C. Cromer, R.C. Donaldson P. C. Stevenson V.N. Threader Abstract Groundwater prospects, mineral deposits and land stability are discussed to provide information for a planning study of the Tasman Peninsula. INTRODUCTION This report was written at the request of the Commissioner for Town and Country Planning, and is the result of a map compilation, a search of records and field work during the period 20 - 24 November 1978. 1. Groundwater from fractured rocks P.C. Stevenson The amoun~ of water that may be obtained from the hard rocks of the Peninsula by boreholes is controlled by the composition and conditions of weathering and fracture. The amount of direct information is limited because only eight bore­ holes have been recorded, all at Koonya, Premaydena or Nubeena, but exper­ ience in other parts of the State enable some general comments to be made. The geology of the Peninsula is shown in Figure 1. The Jurassic dolerite, which forms many of the most rugged and remote parts of the Peninsula, has not been drilled for water but is regarded throughout Tasmania as an extremely poor prospect; very hard to drill, almost always dry and where water exists it is hard and saline. It cannot be recommended. The Permian mudstone and fine-grained sandstone have not been drilled in the Peninsula, but elsewhere are reliable producers of good quality groundwater. yields of 20 to 150 l/min and qualities of 200 - 600 mg/l of total dissolved solids are usual.

  • Norfolk Bay and Frederick Henry Bay Monitoring Program
    EPA Water Quality Monitoring Plan for Norfolk Bay, 2018-19 Introduction The EPA has undertaken to conduct water quality monitoring within Norfolk Bay (and Frederick Henry Bay) to assist in understanding of the marine environment and provide an independent validation of water quality data provided by the aquaculture industry. Aims To provide water quality information to increase the understanding of water quality within Norfolk Bay and Frederick Henry Bay To provide water quality information to assist nutrient dispersion modelling and biogeochemical model development and validation To provide independent validation of water quality information collected by (or on behalf of) Huon Aquaculture. Description Norfolk Bay forms the northern extent of the Tasman Peninsula and Norfolk Bay Marine Farm Development Plan Area (MFDPA). The monitoring program is to commence during August 2018, prior to the Huon Aquaculture Permit Area being stocked with fish. Under the terms of Environmental Licence 9957 held by Huon Aquaculture, water quality monitoring is to be conducted at six (6) locations within Norfolk Bay and Fredrick Henry Bay. Of these five (5) were selected for monitoring under this program for validation purposes (See Table 1). Water quality data is to be collected on a monthly basis. Program commencement: August 2018 Scheduled completion: January 2019 Extension of the monitoring program is subject to review. An overview of the monitoring locations is shown in Table 1 and a map of the locations is shown in Figure 1. A list and overview of the environmental parameters to be collected is shown in Table 2.

As in many rural communities, Tasman‟s population is dispersed with the majori- ty of people centered in and around the township of Nubeena and the localities of White Beach, High- croft, Port Arthur, Premaydena, Saltwater River, Koonya, Taranna, Eaglehawk Neck and Murdunna. The municipal area covers approximately 659.3 square kilometres. Practically an island, the diversity and abundance of wildlife and plant life is truly remarkable. The population is relatively stable at approximately 2400, which swells to between 8,000 and 9,000 as a result of tourists and visitors during the summer months who come to enjoy favorable beaches, bush walking and fishing areas as well as many other tourist attractions. Tasman strives to be a welcoming community with an unbeatable quality of life which boasts a number of boating and sporting clubs with tourism services catering for all ages and interests. Tasman is also proving to be an attractive area for property developers, people seeking a „sea change‟ and retirees looking for a quieter lifestyle. The Tasman Peninsula was formally a bustling industrial zone fuelled by convict labor. In the era be- tween convict settlement and the introduction of the modern tourist industry the area was mostly en- gaged in timber and fishing.
