In short:

Governments are investing nearly $700,000 to install a "bubble curtain" hoping to protect cuttlefish and their eggs in the Upper Spencer Gulf.

It aims to protect more than 50,000 cuttlefish eggs and hatchlings should the algal bloom move up the gulf.

What's next?

The government says the technology will be installed early next week.
