Challenges of Nutrient Pollution and Sea Level Rise in the Tar-Pamlico Watershed
editThe Tar-Pamlico watershed is a coastal river basin in Eastern North Carolina that has been studied for its environmental challenges, particularly related to agricultural nutrient loading and sea level rise. Agriculture is a significant land use in this region, contributing to nutrient runoff, especially nitrogen and phosphorus from fertilizers and manure. Studies have shown that these nutrients can lead to eutrophication, which may cause harmful algal blooms and hypoxic conditions, impacting water quality and aquatic ecosystems. Additionally, research suggests that sea level rise can alter hydrodynamic patterns in the watershed, potentially increasing saltwater intrusion and affecting nutrient cycling. These factors combined pose concerns for the ecological health and agricultural sustainability of the watershed, particularly in the context of climate change (Tapas et al., 2024[1]; Tran et al., 2024[2]).
