Effects of Increased Nutrients on Southern Puget Sound

South Puget Sound water quality is becoming degraded due to increased nutrient inputs that are creating algae blooms, Nutrient inputs from human sources are occurring in far greater volume that the natural inputs. Our Mission was to see if there’s a correlation between increased nutrient inputs from sewage treatment plants to Southern Puget Sound Algae Blooms and dissolved oxygen?

    I enjoyed reading your slide presentation. The information is clearly presented, well-organized, well-researched, and interesting. The slides are very professional. Kudos to the team on a job well-done.

    I really like how you brought in the cultural influences that stem from lowered salmon numbers. The information is great. I have been living in NW Ohio for about a year now and Lake Erie is having problems with toxic algae blooms as well.
