water quality

There is high turbidity in the ocean and, the water has turned green.

In this area of the ocean there is low dissolved oxygen resulting in the death of organisms.

The temperature of the water is high especially in the summer months the highest being August.

Fish and other ocean organisms have died showing poor water health due to low DO levels.

The water has an acidity of 7 

There is low point source pollution and high non-point pollution caused by runoff from farms.

With runoff coming from farms we have nitrates causing an Algae Bloom which in itself causes high turbidity, high water temperature and, low dissolved oxygen.

There are a few solutions we propose a law to prevent farmers from using nitrates on their fields which led into the ocean this would be prevention which is our best option. To remove nitrates from water would take large scale reverse osmosis which would be expensive and take a lot of time
