| Abstract: | The spread of green algae over mudflats in Langstone Harbour has been caused by increased discharges of both treated and untreated sewage effluent. The decline in some species of estuarine birds may be a secondary effect of the blanketing of the muds by algae, but Soulsby et al. concluded that the evidence for a causal link was inconclusive. This note examines the points they put forward in support of this. |
