Nutrient Loading in Tampa Bay

This resource examines the critical issue of nutrient loading in Tampa Bay, focusing on the influence of phosphates, nitrates, water temperature, pH, and dissolved oxygen levels on the ecosystem. Algal blooms, often triggered by excess nutrients, can significantly impact marine life and water quality. The document also references studies and data from various organizations such as the USGS and the Tampa Bay Study for further insights. Understanding these dynamics is essential for effective management and conservation of the bay's marine resources.
