Would you mind explaining how your proposal could help mitigate the effects of agricultural runoff?

People put bubblers in aquariums to support more fish than could otherwise survive based solely on the surface area of the tank.

The gulfs are basically anaerobic septic tanks. Adding oxygen would allow aerobic bacteria to consume the excess nutrients.

Edit: thanks for asking, I should develop this into a full blog post.

I would appreciate a blog post or article on this topic. I asked for an explanation because I see a number of serious obstacles to implementing a solution of this kind. A more complete explanation would give you the space to lay out the proposal in a way that might answer my objections. FYI - I work in the environmental field and so I am genuinely curious about the specifics of your proposal. If you do write a more complete version, please let me know .
