The timing of one of the most widespread coral bleaching events on record, outside of the normal El Nino cycle, has scientists concerned, with one linking it to the effects of "anthropogenic climate change".
The threat of mass fish kills is emerging across the river system as ashy sludge with "the consistency of cake mix" moves downstream.
The NSW Government investigates after pictures emerge of a mass fish kill on the Mid-North Coast, where locals claim a 70km stretch of the Macleay River has been inundated with bushfire ash.
When huge quantities of ash wash into rivers, dams, and eventually the sea, they will likely pollute water supplies and kill aquatic wildlife. National Geographic reports on how the bushfires have impacted water supply.
