Our Proposal

Our solution to the problem covers two perspectives. The first of these is the introduction of sea grass beds to fix nitrogen and phosphorous and oxidize the downstream water. This should reduce the conditions leading to algal blooms. The second of these is more reactive to combat algal blooms when they do occur. This comes by flocculation of dinoflagellates to clay particles distributed on the water surface, which sink to the seabed and kill off the algae cells.
