Excellent work by @emmashortis.bsky.social drawing attention to this oil and gas rig that popped up while we were distracted by the election. Not only is the gas rig next to a Marine National Park, it now stands as a backdrop to the world famous Twelve Apostles #auspol

Several Reports of dead marine life from the Fleurer Peninsula to Port Mac in March 25
Attributed to algae bloom created by high water temp nutrient runoff no rain or wind
Oil /Gas exploration can also increase blooms
