decades‚ the Indian River Lagoon (IRL) has seen an increasing amount of algal blooms caused by an excess of nutrients‚ most notably nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P). Algae being “photosynthetic microorganisms that are found in most habitats” (SJRWMD‚ 2007) and algal blooms being defined as a “rapid increase in the density of algae in an aquatic system... [that is] increased by nutrient pollution” (SJRWMD‚ 2007). Algae blooms contribute to the continuing loss of marine life in the IRL‚ including fish

growth in algae populations‚ literally choking the life out of aquatic ecosystems and polluting water for humans as well. These “Harmful Algal Blooms” (HAB’s) or green tides as some call them can produce toxins that can hurt animals and humans alike turn water green and can cover miles of water in a single bloom. (Dec.ny.gov‚ 2014). When the algae bloom decompose‚ the decomposers that break down these algae use the already minimal oxygen in the water through respiration and because of the sheer

Studying the bonobo has given researchers much insight into our closest living relative. Unfortunately‚ according to a number of different journal articles‚ the bonobo is on the verge of extinction. However‚ in order to understand the conservation issues associated with the bonobo‚ we must first be able to classify the animal with respect to its families and groups. The bonobo is classified according to the taxonomic hierarchy. Bonobos belong to the superfamily Hominoidea that includes apes and
