Australia's toxic algae bloom is 'natural disaster' - premier

Australia's toxic algae bloom crisis in South Australia's waters, responsible for killing over 400 marine species, is declared a "natural disaster" by the state premier. The algal bloom, caused by ocean warming and pollution, has devastated the marine ecosystem since March, prompting a A$14m assistance package. South Australian Premier Peter Malinauskas stresses the severity of the situation and pledges matching funds for cleanup, research, and industry support efforts.
