β€˜You realise your children are probably never going to see Ningaloo the way you saw it’ The west-coast reef has largely escaped the curse of coral bleaching that has blighted the Great Barrier Reef. This year, that’s changed.

ACF is calling on the federal govt to include the impacts of climate change in national nature laws, arguing it is absurd to fail to consider climate harm when assessing projects such as Woodside’s NW Shelf gas hub expansion. www.theage.com.au/environment/...

What we know about the ecological disaster washing up on SA's coast An algal bloom killing marine life in South Australia is persisting despite winter conditions. So what do we know about the bloom, and β€” perhaps more importantly β€” what don't we know?

This algal bloom is wreaking a terrible toll on marine ecosystems off the SA coast. Fish, sharks, seahorses, octopus, squid and other sea creatures are washing up dead on beaches – and this is just a fraction of the damage that is occurring underwater. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-07...
