The damage and impact that can be created by this contamination can destroy an ecosystem. The destruction to aquatic organisms such as fish‚ and macro invertebrates can have lasting and permanent effects on the life of the stream or river. There are ways to lessen the bio-accessibility via abiotic and biotic remediation techniques. One is if the pH is lowered the bio-availability

The organisms found in these waters play an important role in the ecosystems they function in therefore it is imperative to seek a way to keep a close relationship between the estuary-beach systems to prevent breaks in the ecosystems. The goal of an estuary-beach system is to be able to sustain and diversify the life that exists in these biomes. ‘Organisms that live in beach-estuary systems are phytoplankton
