H 10 Regional Plankton Biomass W Malay 1980s 1990s Year -Middle Atlantic Bight -Georges Bank MA 2000s 2010 Gulf of Maine NOAA) h shows the fluctuating values of regional plankton biomass in three locations off the east coast of the United States. Georges Bank is located off of Cape Cod, the Middle Atlantic Bight is located offshore of Virginia and northern rolina, and the Gulf of Maine is located off the coast of New England. Which of the following statements is the most likely reason for the productivity trends seen for the Gulf of Maine? area has fewer large predators like sharks. e area has fewer animals that eat plankton. e area gets hit less by hurricanes so the ocean water mixes less. the area gets more intense sunlight than the other areas. 68 no D B Sign out US Sep 24 6:08 Submitted Next Activity
