It has been almost a year since the algal bloom first appeared along our coast. As each day unfolds, we continue working together to build resilience, understanding and hope within our community.
During @SeaWeek, join us at the Port Environment Centre for an evening of marine-based creativity, community conversation and practical learning about how you can take positive action.
Here’s what’s happening:
4:00 – 5:00 pm | Marine masquerade masks for yourself or the Dancing Monsters Community Parade
A hands-on creative session inspired by our ocean environment. Facilitated by Kristen Messenger from Bugs n Slugs.

5:00 – 6:00pm | Eco-Discussion
A meaningful discussion of community responding to ecological challenges such as the algal bloom.
Article 1: Citizen scientists and holidaymakers key to restoring confidence in SA’s algal bloom-hit coastline
Article 2: Algal bloom: first peoples ngamath-sea country

6:00 – 7:30pm | Science of the Algal Bloom
It’s natural to feel concerned about the algal bloom. But knowledge brings clarity and community action brings hope. Join citizen scientist Samantha from Phytoplankton of South Australia - Recovery, who will share what’s happening at grassroots level and also get a chance to see some of these algae under the microscope. Here’s an opportunity to learn how to sample algae from your local waterways and contribute to science and the planet.
