Wastes from duck farms used to wash into two shallow-water bays on Long Island, New York. The wastes, rich in nutrients such as nitrate and phos-phate, polluted the water. What do you suppose was the immediate effect of the pollutants? Can you speculate on the likely effects on the commercially valuable shellfish of the area?

Why mining causes the pollution?
Waterborne microorganisms can survive in water with small amounts of nutrients but thrive in polluted water, which is rich in nutrients. Why do you think that polluted water is considered rich in nutrients?
Heavy Metals were identified as environmental pollutants much earlier than most trace level organic pollutants. What is one or more? Describe if we have mitigated exposures to same in our region?
Explain the "phosphate trap" in the estuary of Chesapeake Bay. Why was a local ban on phosphorus in detergents not particularly helpful in mitigating eutrophication in the estuary?
The Norfolk Broads is an area of rivers and lakes in East Anglia. It is surrounded by farmland and has become a popular area for boating. During the course of this century the water has been polluted by the addition of sewage, animal wastes and fertilizers. This pollution has had a major effect on the ecology of the area. (a) Explain the part played by bacteria in converting organic matter in sewage to nitrate.
The graphs show how the cloudiness of the water at two different sites varied over a period of one year. Site A had a low nitrate concentration. Site B had a high nitrate concentration. (i) Describe and explain the effect of increased nitrate concentration on algal growth. (ii) Algae do not live long. Explain why the presence of large numbers of algae results in a fall in the amount of oxygen dissolved in the water. (iii) There are very few submerged water plants at Site B. Use (iii) the graphs to suggest how placing a speed limit on boats might allow submerged water plants to become re-established at Site B.
Red algae are considered an important keystone species in the marine environment. Explain why.
Is cleaning plastic from the gyre is worth the risk to marine life? How do you collect small floating trash without collecting small floating organisms?
How might this pollution affect terrestrial organisms that depend on the water for drinking water?
What result can a river with an inflow of domestic sewage rich in organic waste can give?
Is there any form of matter or energy that could never be considered pollution? Briefly compare and contrast point and non-point source pollution.
