build models of nutrient sources and hotspots within the watershed.“Long-term USGS monitoring shows that nitrogen loading to the Gulf decreased then stabilized since 1985, while phosphorus loading increased during part of that same period,” said Don Cline, Associate Director of the USGS Water Resources Mission Area. “A new USGS study indicates these trends are partly explained by nutrient inputs like fertilizer, but notes other factors such as agricultural management practices and nutrients accumulated in the past were also likely important, particularly for phosphorus.”The Interagency
Ship Designed to Collect Ocean Plastic and Convert It to Clean Hydrogen
;with several ports worldwide.Michael Stusch, CEO of H2-Industries, said, “It is becoming increasingly clear that the shipping industry can make a positive impact on reducing global emissions. At H2-Industries, the plan is to help decarbonize industry and power generation, while cleaning up our water resources and converting pollutants into an energy source. To achieve this, we are looking for investors. Once the investment is in place, we expect each ship will be built within roughly 24 months.”According to the project partners, one constraining factor for production is the volume of plastic
