Salmon Free Falklands have invited an Australian industry consultant, Louise Cherrie, to the Falklands in order to share information with us about this industry in Tasmania. Louise is a former member of the Tasmanian Marine Farming Review Panel providing advice at Ministerial level, and was the industry representative on the Tasmanian Environment Protection Authority board.

During the week (17-24 May) Louise is here, she will be meeting with MLAs and FIG officers, giving a presentation to members of the Chamber of Commerce and another to the general public on Wednesday 21 May 1900-2100 in the FIDF Hall, Stanley, Falkland Islands. The Wednesday talk also includes a question and answer session for the public.This is an opportunity to hear about how salmon farming impacts the politics, economy and governance of a country, the financial implications and knock-on effects on community.

If you're unable to attend the Wednesday talk and wish to ask a question, there's the option of sending in written questions by emailing them to salmonfreefalklands@hotmail.com. Your questions will be presented anonymously.
