Cradle Coast NRM, Tasmania

Funded by the Australian Government, Cradle Coast NRM are part of a group of organisations delivering urgent recovery actions to reduce the Maugean Skate’s imminent risk of extinction through the Healthy Harbour project. 

The Maugean Skate is Tasmania’s largest endemic fish and most endangered marine species, with the only known remaining population found in Macquarie Harbour. Cradle Coast NRM are building partnerships and effective communication with Strahan and West Coast residents, including the Tasmanian Aboriginal community, to improve the health of Macquarie Harbour, and connect people with their local environment through art, natural history and citizen science.
