To begin with El Nino is a rise of the temperature of the sea and that creates convection currents because the hot air rises and the cold air sinks, the warm currents carry few minerals to the surface while the dense cold air drops with many minerals. The cold current carrying a lot of minerals is trapped under the warm current, the phytoplankton don't have enough minerals to grow in numbers due to the fact the there are few minerals on the top and phytoplankton can only live on the surface on the water to photosynthesis. If there are less phytoplankton than usual then the anchovy will have less to feed on and thus decreasing the amount in the water, with less anchovy the Fishing industry won't be as good and will fail
Suggest two ways to reduce further damage to the coastal waters:
- Warn tourists about the effects of littering and polluting, as well as the divers to not harm the coral.
- Make rules and regulations about building in the area and where to dump there sewage making sure it doesn't end up in the ocean.
