Australia keeps Maugean skate endangered, citing data gaps and habitat decline from salmon farming.
The Australian government has kept the Maugean skate listed as endangered, rejecting a proposed upgrade to critically endangered despite a 47% population drop since 2014.
The decision, based on insufficient data and advice from experts and stakeholders, cites habitat degradation in Macquarie Harbour due to declining oxygen levels linked to salmon farming.
While the federal government reaffirmed its commitment to preventing extinction and has invested $37.5 million in recovery efforts—including water quality improvements, captive breeding, and monitoring—conservation groups urge immediate action to phase out industrial salmon farming and restore the ecosystem.
