Melvin Mosley+FollowSouth Australia’s beaches hit by mass marine deathsSouth Australia’s coastline has been rocked by an unprecedented wave of marine deaths—over 34,000 creatures, from iconic leafy seadragons to hundreds of sharks, have washed up since a massive algal bloom took hold. What’s remarkable is how everyday people have stepped up: more than 900 locals are now logging sightings and data, helping scientists track the crisis in real time. This grassroots effort is filling gaps left by slow government response and even inspiring new restoration projects, like rebuilding oyster reefs that could help fight future blooms. How do you think communities can keep leading the way in protecting our oceans? #Science #SouthAustralia #MarineLife361Share
William Mckinney+FollowSA beaches reel from marine life crisisOver 11km of South Australia’s coastline, locals and council teams are filling bag after bag with dead fish and sea creatures, victims of a relentless algal bloom. The sight and smell are taking a toll on the community, with many feeling genuine distress as their beloved beaches turn into graveyards. While the bloom isn’t dangerous to humans, it’s devastating for marine life and has sparked a wave of eco-anxiety. Yet, amid the heartbreak, people are coming together—sorting carcasses, supporting cleanup crews, and sharing their grief. How do you think communities should respond when nature throws a curveball like this? #Pets #SouthAustralia #AlgalBloom30Share
