Episode 138: RAD KI: Ro and Phil

This week we are joined by Ro and Phil, the team behind Research and Discovery Coastal Tours Kangaroo Island, or RAD KI for short. They run marine and land based tours on KI, combining tourism with citizen science and have been on the ground documenting and observing the effects of the Algal Bloom on the local environment.  We chat about what they have seen and how it has affected different animals and businesses on the Island, as well as talking about their business and what they love about living and working on Kangaroo Island. 

We also cover the news in South Australian fishing, including a couple of good news stories:

• An increase in bag limits for Snapper caught in the states South East.
• A new limit of 3 Kingfish caught by commercial netting has been introduced
• More weather related damage to jetties including Normanville, Kingston and the old jetty at Rapid Bay.
• Plus we talk about the ongoing effects of the algal bloom.

We announce the winners of our giveaway from Survival First Aid: Paul Longbottom, Tony Lukin and Lawrence Fantus who have each won an Ocean Warrior First Aid Kit. Our tackle item of the week is the Boomer All Terrain Anchor which we have just purchased and plan to put on our boat to save us from losing any more anchors in the future. The fishing report covers all the states fishing, with plenty of Salmon about, while winter whiting and barrel tuna are a bit more hard to find!
