Stillwater Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 The close proximity of intense exploitation and natural beauty needs continous monitoring. The Jacques Cousteau Foundation is willing to face this work. Starting from Rockhampton... ... East End Mine, looks normal. Aldoga Mine, seems to loose lots of iron minerals into the surface water. Gladstone, where the coal is directly transformed into CO2. Air samples will be taken here. But Tannum Sands directly at the coast looks more than suspicious. We need to take water samples... A bunch of industial complexes here... ... with Heron Island just a jump away, ... ... and One Tree Island also close by. The next sampling point, water is to be checked for residues. Business here is different, ... ... and this is not only a place with nice palms. (See part 2, to be published soon...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I´ll have to wait for the analysis of the soup to know its corrosive effects.
