Nitrogen Pollution - Threats to Tropical Coral Coasts
Nitrogen Pollution - Threats to Tropical Coral Coasts
Nitrogen pollution is a critically important global challenge. For tropical ecosystems such as coral reefs and seagrasses (CRAS), this is a particularly pertinent issue, as they are amongst the most economically valuable and biologically diverse ecosystems on Earth, but are steadily declining in areal extent and health. Eutrophication (excessive nutrients causing water pollution) in these environments can not only interfere with the health and diversity of vegetation, fish and other aquatic organisms; inhibit recruitment of juvenile corals but is also thought to increase the susceptibility of corals to heat-induced bleaching events.
This course, will outline the core concepts about the value of tropical marine ecosystems; nitrogen in the marine environment; and drivers of nitrogen pollution.
These videos are free, open resources unless otherwise stated, originally created for the short online course Nitrogen Pollution - Threats to Tropical Coral Coasts. If the course is not currently running, you can still work through the resources in your own time using the videos in this channel.
