@anne_twain FFS! Nuclear plant discharges of heated water can also increase #HABs! Very bad!

" 'It is possible that activities associated with the working [desalination] plant, such as brine discharge and entrainment in the intake structure, will change the ecology of the plankton in the region and may promote blooms of harmful/toxic algal species which have been identified as components of the plankton community off Port Stanvac. Further monitoring is required before the impact of the Adelaide desalination plant on the plankton community off Port Stanvac can be adequately assessed.' "
