you notice this fast once it hits everyday routines.. The smaller practical details matter more than the headline.

Great, another thing to worry about at night. Guess I'll skip the late-night seafood snack.

Sophie Ngata2026-06-12T08:12:50.000Z

This is worrying. We need to look after our waters better eh

River Cole2026-06-12T08:22:50.000Z

Yeah nah, scientists have been saying this for years. Nothing new.

Taylor Wright2026-06-12T09:07:50.000Z

true, but still scary to hear about it happening in Alaska too.

Sophie Ngata2026-06-12T09:22:50.000Z

Bloody climate change making everything worse. Even our kai moana isn't safe.

too late mate, we're already feeling it

you hear versions of this on site and in the office all the time.. Execution is what will decide whether this helps.
