Show Notes
Climate change-driven long-spined sea urchin invasion in Australias coastal waters is decimating kelp forests and turning vibrant reefs into barren landscapes. Despite a 2023 senate report urging $55 million over five years for reef rehab, commercial urchin fishery, and First Nations support, the federal governments recent response only backs one recommendation and acknowledges climate shifts.
