such as cattails‚ thereby reducing species diversity. Vegetation along roadways is a natural buffer area between pollutants and the waters. With salt damage and vegetation degradation it compromises the retention and processing of pollutants in stormwater. The other outcome is that it might affect out our wildlife . very small amounts of salt can result in toxicosis and death within the bird population. Wildlife such as deer and moose are also attracted to the roadway to ingest salt crystals‚ which

Over the last couple of decades‚ the Indian River Lagoon (IRL) has seen an increasing amount of algal blooms caused by an excess of nutrients‚ most notably nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P). Algae being “photosynthetic microorganisms that are found in most habitats” (SJRWMD‚ 2007) and algal blooms being defined as a “rapid increase in the density of algae in an aquatic system... [that is] increased by nutrient pollution” (SJRWMD‚ 2007). Algae blooms contribute to the continuing loss of marine life

The idea of an ocean’s surface with a red hue may seem like a very amazing phenomena but in fact it’s quite the opposite. Red tides are becoming more and more harmful to not just the sea life it’s consumes but to us humans as well.
