This leads to a death of animal life and an unbalanced foodchain. Algae eventually become too crowded to sustain themselves.]]> 2016-12-09 16:16:01 UTC https://padlet.com/dylansparano/3fegpbu87c4c/wish/142838612 dylansparano https://padlet.com/dylansparano/3fegpbu87c4c/wish/142840176 In small amounts, Nitrates and Phosphates are beneficial to an ecosystem. However, when it becomes overly rich in nutrients, the animal life within the water dies from a lack of oxygen. This can often be a result of runoff sediment and fertilizer. When algae dies, they are eaten by bacteria and this depletes the water of its oxygen supply.]]> 2016-12-09 16:20:44 UTC https://padlet.com/dylansparano/3fegpbu87c4c/wish/142840176 dylansparano https://padlet.com/dylansparano/3fegpbu87c4c/wish/142842815 Water can become anoxic in oxygen levels, which is deadly to animals that rely on oxygen. Eutrophication can also cause toxic algal blooms, which lead to the growth of Pfiesteria, a single-celled organism that releases powerful toxins that leave bleeding sores on fish, and can eventually kill them. These same algal blooms also cause other harmful results similar to a "Red Tide".

Algae Filtration: several drumfilters and discfilters have been tested and proven useful in removing algae from surface water. However, results vary depending on the micron measurement of the filter (most efficient at 10 microns) and the assistance of certain chemicals such as polyaluminumchloride.

-Nutrient pollution is the single largest pollution problem
-Toxic algal blooms disrupt tourism due to foul odors and unsightly views, and poisoned fish and shellfish adversely affect recreational and commercial fisheries
-Harmful toxins released by pfiesteria can give the fish that live within the ecosystem bleeding sores ]]> 2016-12-12 18:16:05 UTC https://padlet.com/dylansparano/3fegpbu87c4c/wish/143201315 koldengosney https://padlet.com/dylansparano/3fegpbu87c4c/wish/143202239 2016-12-12 18:19:15 UTC https://padlet.com/dylansparano/3fegpbu87c4c/wish/143202239 koldengosney https://padlet.com/dylansparano/3fegpbu87c4c/wish/143202736 2016-12-12 18:21:01 UTC https://padlet.com/dylansparano/3fegpbu87c4c/wish/143202736 koldengosney https://padlet.com/dylansparano/3fegpbu87c4c/wish/143204603 -It only occurs in aging bodies of water
