Fiona and Macca are joined live on air by aith Coleman, Estuarine Ecologist: Karenia Mikimoto Algae Bloom.
Faith Coleman comes from a family of environmentalists and primary producers, with multiple generations of her family working on the ecology of salinas, salt lakes and estuaries, so she was (quite literally) born with her feet in saline muds. She spent her childhood exploring tidal deltas, in some of the most remote regions of Australia. She is passionate about developing deep understandings of estuarine processes, integrated approaches to estuarine management, adaptive management of landscapes to preserve ecological features, climate change adaptation and sustainable natural resource use. Faith has also published under the name Faith S. Cook.
Since March 2025, Karenia mikimotoi — a microscopic algae — has spread along the South Australian coastline, killing thousands of sea creatures and devastating marine ecosystems. Triggered by a marine heatwave and prolonged calm sea conditions, its impact reaches far beyond the shoreline. Businesses, tourism operators, and coastal communities are facing economic loss, emotional strain, and growing uncertainty about the future.
Despite hopes that winter winds and rainfall would disperse the bloom, it persists. Experts warn that this environmental disaster is unlikely to resolve quickly, raising urgent questions about climate change, resilience, and the health of our oceans.
