00:00York Peninsula surfer Wayne Gurney has left his board at home and is wading into the water for a different reason.
00:09He's collecting water samples to be analysed.
00:12Normally it's crystal clear and blue and pristine offshore winds but as you can see the green there today is all the algae.
00:21The toxic algal bloom has been subsiding along Adelaide's metropolitan beaches
00:25but recently flared up along the southwest tip of the York Peninsula.
00:29Foam coating popular beaches and Karenia algae increasing tenfold.
00:34Devastating local marine life.
00:36There's a lot of heartache, massive heartache within the community.
00:40Most of the people that live here live here because of the beaches and the ocean.
00:43The York Peninsula is a popular place for summer holidaymakers with its pristine beaches and scenic views.
00:50So the blooms' presence around this southern tip of the peninsula has come at the worst time.
00:55Lockie Cameron manages a local caravan park but has also been analysing water samples.
01:01I've got a number of friends and acquaintances that have their own tourism businesses whether it be fishing charters or accommodation and absolutely they've taken a massive hit.
01:10In response the state government held a community forum at Corny Point on Thursday night.
01:15We actually received some updated testing results that are showing a decline in some of the areas in the southern Yorks.
01:23But authorities also say the bloom is moving north along the peninsula.
01:28It's also leaching out further west at a really slow rate so it's sort of just bubbling along.
01:35Bringing more uncertainty for communities.
01:38We want to make sure that we support our local community just by keeping together.
