Cruelty and the Atlantic salmon farming industry
"Animal welfare claim launched against Tasmanian salmon industry by Animals Australia.If four million land animals — say cattle — died prematurely in this manner, there would be outrage. There would be regulatory intervention."
"Animals Australia is also asking Biosecurity Tasmania to investigate alleged animal welfare breaches in relation to seals, dolphins, seabirds and other wildlife injured in the process of salmon farming. Seals, dolphins and water birds are dying as a result of the operation of this industry. Seabirds are being entangled in salmon farm infrastructure, and seals and dolphins are being shot at with pellets, in order for the industry to deter them from these sea pens."

An underwater disaster: Marine heatwaves are cooking our ocean ecosystems – and will only become more common
" Marine heatwaves happen when the ocean remains abnormally hot for an extended period. While they may be invisible from the shore, their impacts can wreak havoc underwater – killing various kinds of coral, seagrass and fish." >>

Hot climate extremes and overcrowded industrial agriculture
* Extreme heat wave in France kills hundreds of thousands of poultry >>
https://news.mongabay.com/short-article/2026/06/extreme-heat-wave-in-france-kills-hundreds-of-thousands-of-poultry/* "The heat is also hitting cattle farmers. High temperatures reduce feed intake, increase water demand and cut milk output. They're standing there with their mouths wide open, just trying to find air...It's very difficult, physically for people and for the animals." >>

A multi-stressor scenario for the ocean and waterway ecosystems:
* The ocean is 'cooked' by the combustion of fossil fuels.
* Add a generous heap of 'nutrient-rich' floodwaters (runoff) from farms and suburbia.
* Get a harmful algal bloom (HAB) disaster, killing bio-diverse marine life and threatening the hip pocket nerve of coastal dwellers."A survey found that Australians remained far more concerned about disasters such as bushfires and flooding than they did HABs, despite 22 million people living with seven kilometres of the coastline and climate change modelling predicting more frequent and severe blooms."
"The study also found Australians had a "relatively low prioritisation of disasters — and HABs in particular — when compared with everyday socio-economic concerns"...Cost of living and healthcare dominated respondents' concerns in Australia, while environmental and climate change-related risks were perceived as less pressing.' >>
