Contaminated (Dirty) water from a fertilizer production plant is leaking into the ocean. This water is adding nutrients (from the fertilizer) such as phosphorus and nitrogen into the water. Which of the following is a valid concern that biologists should have regarding waste
water and what is the best solution to this concern?
A Concern: The nutrients in the water will kill the plants in the ocean.
Solution: The water should be treated (cleaned) before it enters the ocean
B. Concern: The nutrients in the water will cause an algal bloom (photosynthetic algae will grow quickly)
Solution: Allow more fishing so that there will be less fish eating the plants/algae
C. Concern: The nutrients in the water will cause an algal bloom (photosynthetic algae will grow quickly)
Solution: The water should be treated (cleaned) before it enters the ocean
O D. Concern: The nutrients in the water will kill the plants in the ocean
