Effects of turbidity on marine organism

The population of natural marine habitat that is available throughout the world is depleting drastically. Many species that are previously available in abundance are now endangered and some had even extinct. If nothing is done to rectify the problem, natural habitat and the marine organisms might be...

description The population of natural marine habitat that is available throughout the world is depleting drastically. Many species that are previously available in abundance are now endangered and some had even extinct. If nothing is done to rectify the problem, natural habitat and the marine organisms might be lost in the future. Identifying the factors affecting the marine organisms and its habitat is vital to ensure their survival. With the information in mind, remedial actions can take places to prevent, minimize or even aloof the threats to save the marine organisms. This research will focus on the effects of turbidity on sea grass and how turbidity influence other factors that will further impose threats to the survival of sea grass. Experimental tests for turbidity, dissolved oxygen, pH were designed to observe the quality of water in Singapore.
