Are animals abused?

In a way. The movie revolves around a girl and her mother trying to stop illegal overfishing, so the overfishing (which you do see on-screen) could count as animal abuse as it is destroying the ecosystem.

You see a fish being killed onscreen with a spear gun, and close ups of dead fish piled on a boat.

One kiss, but nothing sexual or graphic, and nothing implied.

It's hard to say, really. The film does end just after Dora's funeral, which is sad, but after that we hear about the marine reserve she established while she was alive and all the amazing things that have happened because of it, and the very last scene of the film is really happy.

There is a bit of flashing lights when Macca sets off fireworks at the campfire, but nothing major.

Dora gets chained up to a truck as a protest against developers. It's consensual restraint, I guess, but it may still be good to be aware of if this is an issue for you.

Spearguns, if that counts. A fish is killed by one, and Abby is almost hit by one but manages to get out of the way just in time.

Abby's dad drowns before the beginning of the film. About halfway through, Macca drowns offscreen, and Abby and Dora discuss pulling his body back up from the water, but we don't see this happen.

** SPOILER **
Both of the main character Abby's parents die. Her father dies before the events of the film - his death is not shown, but it is discussed a little bit. He was taken by the sea. Her mother dies right at the end of the film, peacefully, after having a stroke. We see her funeral but the death isn't discussed.

Yes but we don't see any doctors, medical equipment, etc., just Dora sitting outside next to the hospital sign.

This is quite central to the plot of the movie. Dora has a stroke which means that Abby has to go back home to take care of her. Throughout the film we see how Dora's behaviour and memory have been affected by the stroke (quite severely) and it's portrayed in a sad light - Abby tries to show her good memories but Dora doesn't react right until the very last part of the film.
