Oh no, over 1,000 fish just croaked in a containment pond at Darwin Port from acidic iron ore runoff.
Tragic.
But hey, it's not our port anymore — 99-year lease to the Chinese owners and all — so who cares?
Carry on, nothing to see here. Darwin Harbour's had worse, right?

Dead marine sea life is washing up on the beaches
Mass bird deaths line the beaches
"There's a lot of concerning things going on with ocean ecology at the moment, so we are watching events like this with a bit of trepidation."

Smelly brown foamy sludge at Sawtell, NSW
Ocean temperatures are heating up
The marine environment is turning into a dead zone
And fossil fuel projects are still fast tracked
"The wetlands had degraded over a long period of time, with barrages (structures that control water flow) added in the 1950s, higher nutrient loads and extended periods of reduced flow from the Murray... The recent drought and unusual algal blooms had been “eye openers” to many people."

'Cook' the ocean with fossil fuels,
add toxic algal bloom and runoff,
get a mass fish kill
SA’s marine algal bloom is still killing almost everything in its path
