🚨24 HOURS LEFT TO SIGN 🚨 One of the few experts on the ocean inc investigating the algal blooms in SA. Stop the sacking of ocean hero Jochen! Link is in story post or : https://www.petitions.com/sign_this_petition_to_protest_against_the_sacking_of_aprof_kaempf Under a proposed “uplift”, Flinders University wants to sack Australia’s foremost and prominent oceanographer Associate Professor Jochen Kaempf. Jochen is a living legend among the marine sciences community who has proudly discovered Australia’s largest marine ecosystem – the Great Southern Australian Coastal Upwelling System – spanning more than 1500 km from Ceduna in the Great Australian Bight to Tasmania’s West Coast. This discovery is one of the biggest discoveries in the natural history of Australia. (fb)

🌊 PFAS — the “forever chemicals” are washing into our oceans through stormwater, sewage, and ocean outfalls. Once they’re in the water, they never break down. These toxic chemicals are found in non-stick pans, stain-resistant sprays, waterproof clothing, cosmetics, and personal care products. Every wash, rinse, or flush adds more to the system. PFAS don’t just harm marine life — they’re also endocrine disruptors, interfering with hormones and linked to cancers, fertility issues, and immune problems. 🐋🐟 Humans and wildlife are both at risk. 💧 What you can do: – Swap non-stick pans for stainless steel or cast iron – Avoid stain-resistant / waterproofing sprays – Wash clothes less often & use a filter bag or washing machine filter – Choose PFAS-free cosmetics and personal care products – Support policies to end PFAS use and stop pollution at the source Protecting our oceans means protecting ourselves. Let’s cut PFAS before they reach the sea. 🌍✨ (fb)
