run-offs or sewage outflows. Fertilizers and sewage are both rich in nitrogen and phosphorus‚ which are both nutrients essential for plant growth. However‚ these nutrients are typically low in content in aquatic environments‚ which limits the growth of algae and plants‚ but with an increased amount of these nutrients‚ more plants are able to grow‚ disrupting the natural environment. Eutrophication is becoming more and more common throughout the world. One main plant growth of concern is that of harmful

algal biomass can potentially deplete dissolved oxygen levels within the reservoir through bacterial decomposition and photosynthetic respiration. A study by Dr. Bayne examined the relationship between reservoir water retention times and phytoplankton algae production in the summer. Dr. Bayne‚ along with Auburn University professor Dr. Mike Maceina‚ assessed the potential water quality effects on Weiss Lake of the draft Coosa River water-sharing agreement between Alabama and Georgia.

concentrations rise to extremely high levels‚ eutrophication occurs. There are two stages‚ which begin with the algal bloom. Algal bloom creates a barrier at the surface of the water‚ which prevents sunlight from coming through‚ which eventually kills the algae and other plants. This brings us to the ends in which there are a high amount of dead organisms and can even cause what is know as fish kill. After setting up the three experiments called control‚ moderate‚ and high‚ I believe that in the Raphanus

efforts to execute the plan and continue to grow? Answer: They can truly execute the three-point plan because it can be one of the most competitive player in the market. Some factors to consider to make this plan work is that Aquaflow must use wild algae to help clean up water. They should also try to cultivate mono-cultures or a small number of species although its quit expensive‚ hard to scale and has significant technical risk. Aquaflow must look to partner in where the ‘fuel’ is a byproduct of

I am going to inform you about the symbiotic relationships‚ different types of coral reefs‚ why the Great Barrier Reef is important‚ the fish that live in the Great Barrier reefs and how the Great Barrier Reef is endangered. Symbiotic Relationships There are many symbiotic relationships in the Great Barrier Reef. There are different types of symbiotic

Coral reefs are communities to the sea and home to many living creatures and different types of organisms‚ as well as about one-fourth of the oceans population. Coral reefs are made up of animals called polyps that will remain in one place‚ acting as the main structure of the reef itself‚ these animals have a hard almost skeleton like structure. Scientists who study coral reefs have categorized them into three different types of reefs; Barrier reefs‚ Atolls‚ and Fringing reefs. Coral reefs are put

dinoflagellates are a part of a group called alveolates. They are most common in marine and freshwater phytoplankton. Some are heterotrophic. Diatoms‚ on the other‚ are a part of a group called stramenopiles. They are unicellular‚ photosynthetic algae with cell walls that contain silica. Dinoflagellates are a diverse group of flagellate eukaryotic microorganisms Dinoflagellates are unicellular‚ free-swimming‚ biflagellate organisms Dinoflagellates have approximately 150

Trashed: Our Ocean By: Meaghan Todd December 10th 2010 CGW-4U1-02 Mr. Kyriacou Have you ever been to the beach? I have and swimming in the ocean is one of my favourite things to do when I go on vacation! You wouldn’t want someone to come into your house and throw their cigarette butts or their plastic drink container on your kitchen floor when they’re done would you? I know I wouldn’t. Littering in the ocean does not magically get rid of your garbage; the marine wildlife
