An ocean scientist has warned that a “second wave” of South Australia’s toxic algal bloom could be imminent, as algae levels skyrocket near the southern tip of the Eyre Peninsula.
At the end of April, Australia’s largest and most destructive algal bloom appeared to be dissipating, with low or zero levels of the toxic Karenia cristata algae recorded almost everywhere in the state – except for Bickers Island at the bottom of Spencer Gulf, west of Adelaide, where the algae was recorded at concentrations of 16,490 cells per litre.
