Dr Scott Bennett is Co-Founder of the Great Southern Reef Foundation and leads their science committee. In this chat, we discuss the devastating algal bloom off South Australia's coast that has already killed (and continues to kill) countless marine species. Fresh from a dive survey of some of the impacted areas, Scott shares his insights on what's it like, what's causing it, and what needs to be done.
