(05.05 HC) The Gulf оf Mexicо deаd zоne thаt forms eаch summer at the mouth of the Mississippi River is caused largely by the input of agricultural fertilizers that stimulate phytoplankton blooms, which die, and are subsequently consumed through bacterial decomposition. Decomposition consumes oxygen, leading to very low dissolved oxygen levels and subsequent death or emigration (i.e. leaving the area) of fish and other marine life. Many scientists advocate creating wetlands (as well as restoring them) as a strategy to reduce the severity and extent of the dead zone. The idea is that the plants in the wetlands will remove these nutrients from the water (during growth) and prevent their washing into the river and the Gulf of Mexico. Would the use of created wetlands be considered biotechnology? Why or why not? (5 points)
