00:00If we can cut off the nutrient supply that fuels algae growth in the first place, that's going to be
00:06a big piece of the puzzle.
00:09And that means a combination of, you know, getting rid of the nitrogen and phosphorus from agricultural fertiliser that's running
00:17off into rivers and streams,
00:20and also livestock waste and sewage systems and even urban runoff that are consistently identified as being the key drivers.
00:27But the problem is, again, that you come back to the issue of climate change in the form of increased
00:34rainfall,
00:35which does the act of washing loads more gunk into our waterways.
00:41And so that's also contributing to the problem.
00:43So the big, big issue really is, obviously, our warming climate.
00:48And there's no simple solution to that other than ones that we well and truly know about.
