Nuclear subs and the Adelaide dolphin sanctuary
Thank you for posting this article about the government’s report to address the environmental impacts of constructing nuclear submarines at Osborne, Port Adelaide, noting it is open for public consultation. We did a lovely kayaking tour recently in the Adelaide Dolphin Sanctuary – a part of the Port Adelaide area.
It encompasses a 10,000 year-old mangrove forest and marine park that is home to around 30 resident bottlenose dolphins, with another 400 transient dolphins that visit at various times – all wild, as well a number of threatened and migratory birds.
I don’t feel confident that the building of the nuclear submarines in this area would protect what we still have left there. Presume the nuclear waste issues are a buck to be passed to somewhere else in Australia to deal with.
