After more than 400 marine species were wiped out by a devastating algae bloom, the federal and South Australian governments have pledged $102.5 million towards protecting South Australia’s coasts and preventing another similar disaster.
The Algal Bloom Summer Plan aims to safeguard beaches, rebuild marine habitats, and help coastal towns recover from the economic and environmental damage.
