Calls for radical change to avoid commercial fishing 'wipe out' in WA (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The state government has cut annual funding for the WA Fishing Industry Council by $400,000. Veteran fisher and former WAFIC deputy chair Anthony Haygarth says it signals that the industry needs to walk away from government funding and challenge policy decisions more actively. WAFIC members will meet this month to discuss their future, ahead of their annual general meeting later this year. Commercial fishers say their industry risks collapse unless the organisation representing them undergoes ra

Water in the air an 'untapped water resource' until now (opens the original)

Researchers say capturing water from the air could become a new source for regions of Australia with water supply challenges. If the trial is successful, the university will consider deployment to other remote regions and scaling the plant to produce as much as 10,000 litres a day. Capturing water in the atmosphere and making it available for drinking could be the new frontier
