Feeding Country: Lutruwita – Sea | abalone & Sea Country in Tasmania

In the second episode of Feeding Country: Lutruwita, NITV host Zev Ryall joins Land and Sea Aboriginal Corporation Tasmania's Daniel Kelleher to explore the enduring connection between Tasmanian Aboriginal people, Sea Country and abalone. Discover how Aboriginal knowledge of Sea Country has sustained people for tens of thousands of years through careful harvesting, deep ecological understanding and respect for the ocean. Together, they explore the cultural significance of abalone, the challenges facing the mollusc today, and why this remarkable seafood deserves a place on more Australian plates. Created for NAIDOC Week 2026, Feeding Country: Lutruwita is a three-part documentary series from SBS Food and NITV celebrating the deep cultural, ecological and culinary knowledge of Tasmanian Aboriginal people. Through the elemental forces of Land, Sea and Fire, the series centres the voices of First Nations knowledge holders and highlights the living traditions that continue to nourish people and Country.
