Which risk increases when coastal hydro-engineering prevents upwelling?

A)Increased harmful algal bloom frequency
B)Reduced thermocline layer water salinity
C)Decreased deep ocean water pH
D)Elevated methane hydrate formation rates

💡 Explanation

Increased harmful algal bloom frequency occurs because nutrient replenishment from upwelling ceases and stratification increases, strengthening surface blooms; therefore algal blooms occur rather than pH reduction driven by carbon fluxes.
