A watershed group promotes sustainability; which action best reduces nutrient pollution and eutrophication risk?
A
Establish vegetated buffer strips, manage fertilizer timing and amounts, and restore wetlands to capture and transform nitrogen and phosphorus.
B
Apply more fertilizer to ensure plants absorb it all, assuming excess nutrients never run off into waterways.
C
Remove riparian vegetation to increase stream access, because shade and roots are not important for water quality.
D
Drain wetlands to reduce mosquito habitat, since wetlands provide no benefits for nutrient cycling or flood control.
E
Divert sewage directly to the ocean, because dilution eliminates eutrophication and prevents harmful algal blooms.
