Which risk significantly increases when coastal upwelling stalls?

💡 Explanation

An upwelling stall limits nutrient dispersal, leading to concentrated nutrients and therefore phytoplankton blooms that can become dangerously toxic, because nutrient dispersal stops by Ekman transport. Consequences occur locally, specifically harmful algal bloom intensification in coastal regions, rather than the glacial melting or thermohaline alterations.
