2 Page 2: Remediating Water Questions 3 1. Describe one change in farming practices that can reduce the effects of eutrophication. 2. Dead zones are areas in the world's oceans and lakes that are void of life due to low oxygen levels. Explain why dead zones are often located along heavily inhabited coastlines. 3. During heavy rainstorms, sewer systems in some older cities can be overwhelmed with water. This can result in raw sewage being discharged into nearby waterways. What impact might this discharge have on the waterway?

Trees from the rain forest are used to supply the growing population with lumber for homes and furniture. D. The release of carbon dioxide into the air during the burning of the rain forests adds to the greenhouse effect. E. Almost half of the tropical rain forest deforestation occurs in South America.

Ic CRITICAL THINKING 1. Two arctic marine mammals that live in the same waters differ in the level of pollutants in their bodies. Bowhead whales have a lower pollutant load than ringed seals. What are some factors that might explain this difference? 2. In one seaside community in New Jersey, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service suggested trapping and removing feral cats (domestic cats that live in the wild). The goal was to protect some endangered wild birds (plovers) that nested on the town's beaches. Many residents were angered by the proposal, arguing that the cats have as much right to be there as the birds. Do you agree? Why or why not? 3. In some areas, the barrier built to prevert uncontrolled movement of people across the border oetween the United States and Mexico consists of miles of 6-meter- tall steel beams placed four inches apart. Discuss the ecological effects of such a barrier. What types of organ- isms would be most adversely affected by this habitat fragmentation? 4.…
