00:00Removing dead marine life from beaches isn't something these volunteers imagined they'd
00:07ever do.
00:08It is very different, normally we're deploying for fire and storm damage and flood.
00:15The newly funded ramp up of beach cleanups couldn't have come at a better time, with
00:20the latest Algal update showing the bloom isn't going away.
00:24The bloom is persisting, the greatest area of impact at the moment as this bloom moves
00:30dynamically through the gulfs is along the metropolitan coast.
00:34The government's doing a clean up of its own, after criticism over its roll out of recent
00:39health advice for asthma sufferers.
00:41That advice, to carry medication on foamy beaches, is now also under fire for its stark contrast
00:48to Asthma Australia's recommendation to avoid beaches altogether.
00:52I've had an email already from Asthma Australia and I'm looking forward to catching up with
00:57them.
00:58The opposition wants real time updates daily.
01:01People need confidence to be able to come to the beach and the only way they're going
01:03to get that confidence is good information.
01:05The government's promising a new testing framework.
01:08I would be expecting that would be out in a matter of a couple of weeks.
01:13Across St Vincent Golf in Ardrossen, harrowing stories of the bloom's impact continue at the
01:18Senate inquiry.
01:20The calamari is an absolute essential part of our catch.
01:23We can't get by without it.
01:24We haven't seen a calamari for ten weeks.
01:29It's like they never existed.
01:31The crabs, the squid, the garfish are all near non-existent levels.
01:37And strong calls for more research and financial support.
01:40I think the fishermen should probably stop fishing and probably change their role to more research
01:47data collection.
01:48We should have both gulfs sharp to manage and look after our fish stocks.
01:53An industry on its knees, exploring extreme options to find a solution to an unpredictable crisis.
02:00There are some areas that are in the same area.
02:04There are so many areas that are located in the United States.
02:05The crabs are using a standstill for the land of the sea.
02:07We've seen some of these examples together.
02:09So, I'm going to get off the boat.
02:10There are so many injuries of the seas that are in the highway.
02:13And Port際, if I call me the medical or whatever, there are so many injuries.
02:15And I don't stand up with that.
02:17There are so many injuries that we have.
02:18And I know that many injuries are impacted by the place.
