We end up with things we've heard about before: red tides, for example, which are blooms of toxic algae floating through the oceans causing neurological damage.
One direct result of this pollution is the red tides that have afflicted various areas of the Adriatic and Aegean seas, covering the beaches with a foul-smelling, glutinous sludge.
Nitrogen loading may increase the severity of harmful algal blooms, such as red tides, and lead to the formation of dead anoxic zones, the incidence and severity of which are increasing worldwide.
Although in the Philippines red tides are directly linked to the problem of paralytic shellfish poisoning, some experts say that this is not necessarily true in all countries that have experienced red tides.
Dead zones are linked with increasingly frequent outbreaks of red tides, where mass mortality events of fish and marine mammals are caused by toxin build-ups owing to lower oxygen levels in their environment.
Over a thousand dolphin corpses piling up on shores from Greece to Morocco, poisonous red tides in the Aegean, millions of tons of mucuslike foam in the Adriatic, turtles and seals on the brink of extinction, areas of water devoid of life altogether.
