Pollution profoundly affects aquatic ecosystems, leading to detrimental consequences for water quality, biodiversity, and overall ecosystem health. Contaminants such as heavy metals, pesticides, and excess nutrients can disrupt the balance of aquatic life, harming fish, plants, and microorganisms. For instance, nutrient runoff can cause eutrophication, resulting in oxygen depletion and dead zones where aquatic life cannot survive. Additionally, pollution can lead to habitat destruction and the loss of species. Monitoring and mitigating pollution in aquatic environments are essential for preserving the integrity and functionality of these vital ecosystems.
