#SeaDragon populations decimated in ‘mind-blowing’ mass mortality event caused by #SouthAustralian #AlgalBloom
Thousands of #SeaDragons, #pipefishes and #seahorses have washed up along state’s coastline according to analysis of #CitizenScientist records

Excerpt: "Stefan Andrews, a marine biologist and co-founder of the Great Southern Reef Foundation, said the scale of the mortalities was 'mind blowing', especially for animals like sea dragons, which were rare to see and found in only a handful of locations along the coast.
More than 800 species have been affected in Australia’s first bloom of #KareniaCristata, a rare and toxic type of algae deadly to marine life.
"Surveys and reports were beginning to put numbers on the devastating toll, such as the catastrophic decline in #GiantCuttlefish this year, research made possible through the contributions of #CitizenScientists and divers.
" 'We saw so many people just step up and do their bit to report observations,' he said. 'Sometimes mortalities that wash up on the beach could have disappeared in a matter of hours. So to have all of this data and information that scientists can analyse deeply is so useful to get an understanding of what’s going on.' "

#Australia - Concerns over #GreatArtesianBasin water impacts in new #BHP agreement
By Kathryn Bermingham, Thomas Kelsall
Sun 14 Jun
Excerpt: "#Environmentalists and #FirstNations groups say a new agreement between the #SouthAustralian government and BHP, set to be passed by state parliament this week, does not do enough to end water extraction from the Great Artesian Basin.
"They also say their concerns have not been taken seriously and that they have been shut out of the consultation process.
"The government announced last month it would introduce a bill to 'modernise' the #OlympicDam indenture — a legislated contract with BHP that governs mining operations.
"The updated indenture broadens BHP's #mining lease and removes caps on #copper production, paving the way for a potential major expansion.
"It also addresses water access, stipulating that BHP must stop drawing water from its Great Artesian Basin Wellfield A by 2036.
"But it allows continued access to BHP's other #wellfield, despite the concerns of #TraditionalOwners and environmentalists that extraction is damaging the local mound springs."

South Australian researcher is said to be pushing for the heritage listing of the moon
"The #SouthAustralian #government has provided $100,000 (NZ$108,838) to the #campaign, which is looking to raise a total of $2.2 million (NZ$2.39m).
"It's an important piece of South #Australian #history, but also an important piece of Australian #cinematichistory and it belongs in a #museum," #EducationMinister #BlairBoyer said."
Amazing aerial picture shows incredible contrast at #SA and #Victoria border. On the Victorian side, lush greenery can be seen spanning hundreds of kilometres along the border. On the #SouthAustralian side is a more bare landscape. #deforestation #deforestationfootprint

This is a quandary as I do like rockets and the prospect of a #SouthAustralian space industry. This said I am wary, resulting from previous mitigation plans conjured to allow fossil fuel project destruction of habitats (Adani’s Black throated Finch anyone?).
Is there such a thing as a guaranteed mitigation plan? I don’t think so.
