Deep Dive: Our 'underwater Chernobyl'
Dead fish, vanishing oxygen, and what some are calling “underwater Chernobyl” - South Australia’s normally pristine coastline is facing an environmental crisis that’s been months in the making.
A toxic algal bloom is starving marine life, threatening a $500 million fishing industry and a $10 billion tourism sector. Now, there are calls for the Prime Minister to declare a national disaster.
In this episode of The Briefing, Chris Spyrou speaks with Greens Senator Sarah Hanson-Young about the scale of the crisis, why it’s being overlooked, and what needs to happen next.
