The giant cuttlefish’s technicolour mating display is globally unique. The SA algal bloom could kill them all
The SA government has convened an emergency meeting today to discuss taking cuttlefish eggs from the wild, due to the impending threat of the algal bloom which could wipe them out forever.

As the SA Government convenes an emergency meeting to discuss the threat of the toxic algal bloom to the Giant Australian Cuttlefish in the Spencer Gulf today, we asked cuttlefish expert @zoedoubleday.bsky.social about the population and why it is so special.

In case you missed it, here’s what to know about the giant cuttlefish mating migration, the risk SA’s algal bloom poses to the population, and what the SA government must consider when investigating safeguards for the species.

Harmful algal blooms linked to die-off of fur seals in the Bering Sea
Ten fur seals and hundreds of fish washed up dead on a Pribilof beach last year. New research links the die-off to warming oceans.

Sea foam is a health hazard. These bacterial smoothies can contain more harmful pathogens than a sewage treatment plant – and you wouldn’t go swimming in sewage.
Dozens of surfers fell ill after swimming in seas that turned into a ‘bacterial smoothie’ of sea foam. What was in it?

If Females Could Get Pregnant, There’d Be An Abortion Clinic On Every Coral
Despite the tide of aquatic opinion flowing in favor of reproductive rights for all, marine society still gives male seahorses very little say over what happens to their own bodies. Instead, we are treated as passive baby-making machines. Meanwhile, if it were the female seahorses who could get pregnant, there’d probably be an abortion clinic […]

Blue Growth Potential to Mitigate Climate Change through Seaweed Offsetting
Carbon offsetting is a contentious but growing market for mitigating climate change. Aquatic farming of seaweeds is a growing sector that may provide a new form of offsetting in the oceans. Froehlich et al. find large-scale global mitigation through CO2eq sequestration unlikely but local to regional applications more feasible.
