What We Can Do
Sustainable Agriculture Practices
Sustainable farming methods are ones that put the environment's well-being first and encourage the long-term viability of agricultural systems.
Raising Awareness
Increased awareness about the problems of rising sea levels and eutrophication is essential for creating meaningful change.
Reducing Greenhouse Emissions
Reducing greenhouse gas emissions is crucial in mitigating the effects of climate change and the resulting rise in sea levels.
Climate Change Can?
Climate change can contribute to eutrophication by increasing precipitation and runoff, which can carry more nutrients into water bodies. Warmer temperatures can also increase the growth and metabolic rates of algae and other aquatic plants, exacerbating eutrophication.
Rising sea levels, on the other hand, are a direct consequence of climate change. As global temperatures rise, glaciers and ice sheets in polar regions and mountain ranges are melting, contributing to the rise in sea levels. This can lead to the inundation of low-lying coastal areas, coastal erosion, and increased flooding during storms and high tides. Rising sea levels can also exacerbate eutrophication by increasing the frequency and severity of coastal flooding, which can carry more nutrients into coastal water bodies.
