‘Like an underwater bushfire’: SA’s marine algal bloom is still killing almost everything in its path
The algal bloom in SA is a warning to coastal communities, as well as tourism, seafood and aquaculture industries. It’s a sign of what’s to come as the oceans warm.

Labor is just creeping ahead in polls. But dead farmed salmon is washing up on beaches in Labor’s Franklin electorate + in Braddon there are growing protests against proposals for Bass Straight salmon farms. Why would you explode the EPBC Act, + poke the Tassie envirobeast for 20 jobs in Strahan?🤷🏻‍♀️
