Which consequence results from enhanced thermocline suppression during coastal upwelling?

💡 Explanation

Reduced nutrient transport to surface waters occurs because thermocline suppression inhibits upwelling's vertical mixing. Thus primary productivity decreases, rather than the increased productivity that would arise from uninhibited nutrient-rich upwelling promoting phytoplankton blooms in normal conditions; therefore, A.
