Toxic Algae Surge Threatens South Australia

Toxic algae levels are surging in South Australia’s coastal waters, threatening marine life and ecosystems still recovering from last year’s devastating bloom. Scientists warn a second wave is forming near the Eyre Peninsula, with algae concentrations now over twenty times higher than in April—and spreading northward as autumn approaches. The bloom’s cold-weather resilience and past movement patterns raise alarms for endangered species like sawfish and giant Australian cuttlefish, whose breeding grounds could be hit later this season. While community groups race to restore seagrass habitats, experts say the situation remains volatile and potentially catastrophic for South Australia’s fragile coastlines.
