Why

Join Divers for Climate during Adelaide Climate Week for a national online briefing exploring the ongoing impacts of South Australia's harmful algal bloom and what it means for the future of our marine ecosystems and coastal communities.

RSVP for this event on the Adelaide Climate Action Week website.

More than a year on from the unprecedented algal bloom, we're bringing together scientists, dive operators, and ocean advocates once again to share the latest updates from the frontlines. We'll discuss the continuing ecological impacts, including the concerning absence of Whyalla's iconic giant cuttlefish aggregation, and explore what these changes mean for marine life, tourism, and the communities that depend on healthy oceans.

Event Details

Date/Time: Thursday 30th July, 5;30pm AEST
Location: Online (link provided upon registration)
Who should attend: Divers, snorkellers, freedivers, marine tourism professionals, ocean lovers, and anyone passionate about protecting Australia's marine environment.

Our speakers will share:

  • The latest update on South Australia's harmful algal bloom and recovery efforts.
  • First-hand experiences from those living and working on the coast.
  • The impacts on Whyalla's world-famous giant cuttlefish aggregation and the regional community.
  • How the dive community can support.

The session will conclude with an interactive community discussion, providing an opportunity to ask questions, connect with others, and explore meaningful actions we can take together. List of speakers coming soon!

Whether you joined us last year or are learning about this issue for the first time, we'd love to have you as part of the conversation.

See you online!
