PUBLIC HEALTH WARNING. I'm no Dr however what I have seen over the past few days can only described as frightening. I feel obligated to share this with you all.

We have been filming in Gladstone AU with local fisherman
and Dr Mat Landos, I am now convinced that nobody should be eating any
sea food from Gladstone.
Gladstone Harbour has seen many years of
industrial and port growth over recent decades. Industry has been part
of the environmental equation in the harbour since the 1960’s. However
the current scale of development and cumulative impact from multiple
industrial projects undergoing construction simultaneously within the
marine and coastal environment of Gladstone Harbour is unprecedented.

Dredging the harbour floor has made for a toxic soup, heavy meals have
been stirred up causing massive fish kills, dead dolphins, dugongs and
sick mud crabs. The government say it's all okay however if you read Dr
Matt Landos's report it paints a disturbing picture, you can down load
the report here.
We were invited out to go crabbing with a local professional crabber, I
have added photo's of the catch. You can see huge holes in the craps
shell and claw. The crabs have shown 10 times the normal levels of
copper and arsenic.
