Btw the whole shark panic thing is more about a misplaced macho bravado of humans being at the top of the food chain, if it was really above lives you’d see equal panic about 274 ppl who drown to death every year in Aus- this is around 50 times the number of shark attack deaths

At first glance, this looks like a lost script from an ancient civilization. It's actually the shell of a marine clam called Lioconcha hieroglyphica.

Another Dolphin has washed up on the city beaches today That’s now 91 dolphins within 12 months that’s been documented - We all know hundreds more would be at bottom of ocean or washed up where people don’t see them mortalities are continuing regardless of little/no karenia counts, starvation/malnutrution/emaciation, or accumulation of brevetoxin in the system....... Or plain and simple bacteria 🦠 vibrio in our waters What is it Mali ? Where is Steers ? South Australians would like answers please @PMalinauskasMP Waiting for a photo. Not that we need to see anymore 😩😢 Janine Baker just told me about it @GLH_books Henley Beach

Hands-up those who know this is made mainly from linseed oil
I guarantee you had this floor or knew someone that had this floor. Am I right?

Warning on photos This will remain the reality on our beaches for a long time to come. In some areas, we no longer see healthy marine life only bones and partially decomposed mammals and marine species bones washing ashore. This is why places like Port Hughes are experiencing thick, toxic foam, and why Turton is facing similar issues, caused by dead algae and the bacteria from millions of decomposing organisms on the gulf floors. This isn’t over and Lincoln will and is becoming the next target of this catastrophic marine crisis I honestly can’t understand how anyone could vote for Labor. They show no concern for our oceans, the environment, or the mental health impacts people are experiencing right now because of the commercial fleet ban in GSV. If the professor’s predictions are right and the toxic bacteria currents return to GSV as he thinks , we could be facing fishing bans for decades and serious consequences for people’s lives, which we’re already starting to see with some commercials The Greens may talk up their concerns and claim to care, but they still end up supporting Labor. @GLH_books

I wanted to make a joke about sodium, but l thought Na, people won't get it. Chemistry jokes are all about the right reaction.
