Suppose you live near a reef that draws thousands of scuba diving tourists every year. Your community depends on that tourism. A developer wants to build a large resort and golf course, both of which will result in excess nutrients in the coastal water. Write an open letter to the developer to argue against the plan, citing data from the investigations you just conducted in this virtual lab activity. Use the space below to include graphs of the data, particularly those showing a cause-and-effect pattern between nutrient levels and changes to the coral reef’s populations.
