A diagram illustrates the way in which carbon dioxide dissolves in the ocean and the impacts acidification can have on marine life.
Atmospheric and Eutrophic Acidification
A graph depicts the low oxygen levels and high ammonium concentrations in 2005 that caused large algae blooms. This put more stress on the ecosystem, resulting in the fish kill.
2005 Corsica River Fish Kill
A conceptual diagram illustrates the factors that cause brown tide algae blooms to occur in high magnitudes and what impacts these blooms have on the rest of the ecosystem.
Causes and Impacts of Brown Tide Algal Blooms
A graph depicts the increasingly high levels of hypoxia in the Chesapeake Bay since 1970.
Trends in Hypoxic Volume Since 1970

A conceptual diagram illustrates the current threats to native salt marsh species as well as the threats these species will face as their habitat is altered by climate change.

The steps in this diagram assist Trust Fund recipients in determining the best experimental design and monitoring method for their water quality monitoring project.
Water Quality Management Decision Tree
As land use in the Chilika Lake area changes from forest to settlements and paddy agriculture sewage, and fertilizer and pesticides runoff increases into the Lake. This extra nutrient input results in algae blooms that float and sit on the bottom.
Chilika Lake Pollution Pressure
During monsoon season excess sediment is deposited in Chilika Lake, mostly from Mahanadi River tributaries, nearby settlements, and agricultural lands. As the Lake becomes more shallow and its sea outlets fill in with sediment, increased flooding occurs.
Chilika Lake Sedimentation
Excess nutrients will result in increased chlorophyll and turbidity, limiting the amount of light that reaches benthic sediment. Light is essential for healthy submerged aquatic vegetation growth.
Light and Dark Conditions Impact on Submerged…
The Black-crowned Night Heron is found in wetland habitats used for foraging and terrestrial vegetation for cover. They nest in groups.
