Scientists have questioned the link between the 2022-23 floods and South Australia's ongoing harmful algal bloom, despite the state government listing it as one of the three primary causes.

In short:

The role of the 2022-23 Murray River floods in the formation of SA’s harmful algal bloom has been questioned.

A Senate inquiry was told the time lag between the two events made it unlikely nutrients from the flood were still present when the bloom emerged.

What’s next?

The inquiry will hold its final hearing in Canberra on Wednesday.
