Algal Bloom

In reply to the Hon. T.A. FRANKS ().19 August 2025).

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development, Minister for Forest Industries): I am advised:

Over 80 marine and environmental experts attended all or part of the Algal Bloom Science Forum, held on 3 June 2025 at the South Australian Aquatic Sciences Centre in Adelaide and online via Microsoft Teams. A total of 24 scientists attended the entire four-hour forum in person; another 32 accounts (of experts and expert groups) attended online. The 55 (in-person and online accounts) participants are listed on the forum summary document, which is publicly available on the PIRSA website.

Some participant names are not captured in the document because some online accounts had multiple participants, and some people attended only part of the forum addressing their area of expertise.
