Environment & Ecology
English term or phrase: vibrant waterways
Further north, in the green waters of Canada’s St. Lawrence River, beluga whales are mysteriously dying- their white corpses found washing up on the stony shores. A world away on the Great Barrier Reef, swarms of monstrous sea stars are overrunning this marine paradise. At first glance, these stories seem unrelated. But, in fact, scientists suspect they may be part of a worldwide transformation brought on by toxins in the water. Have Earth’s vibrant waterways become massive delivery systems for invisible poisons? And are some of these poisons reaching our faucets? As scientists verify that our problem with toxins is mounting, cutting-edge research using plants and bacteria draw on the building blocks if life itself as a solution to problems vexing the planet
