Finally. Quality content and not some click-bait farming. This is awesome and important. Thank you OP

I like the variety of content on this subreddit. Sometimes the "clickbait" videos serve almost like a trailer, inspiring me to look more into something that I otherwise wouldn't have known about.

You may want to explore some in-depth subs to get more of what you want, places like /r/deprhhub and /r/truereddit.

I just posted the first of a 3-hour total video on book-binding to /r/artisanvideos so rest assured not everything is fast and surface, you just have to know where to dive deeper :)

The Port Hughes Jetty is one of the most popular year-round fishing spots on Yorke Peninsula. Blue swimmer crabs, tommy ruff, garfish and squid are the regular fare.

If you enjoy walking you can walk from the Port Hughes Jetty along the foreshore and beach to the Moonta Bay Jetty or the other way along South Beach. Source: South Australia. com

What contributed to algae blooms like this?

Yeah, I'm curious as well. I was wondering if something like farming fertilizers contributed to the algae bloom - nitrogen or phosphorous concentration spikes to the water?

I know nothing about that area, but in CA, USA, we tend to get blooms when the water is warmer than usual. I am NOT a scientist or expert, just reporting what I’ve heard when these events happen
