So what happens when they stop dumping Iron Sulfate into the water?.....................

The Haida Indians go hungry? I hope not. At some point the hypocrisy of the left becomes so great it can't be ignored for anyone willing to look, even some on the left.

Evidently iron sulfate is considered a “good” chemical by the greenies, that can be freely dumped with impunity into the oceans. However if a mean nasty profitable mine produced the same effluent, they’d be shut down in ten seconds by the EPA.

Presumably the phytoplankton bloom ends, and presumably the salmon fry have dispersed from the area and are no longer dependent on the food chain which the phytoplankton was the basis for. The next dump of iron sulfate would then happen prior to the next salmon hatching period. Seems like a great idea.

The iron sulfate they already dumped remains in the system. Localized algae blooms won't occur any more, but the ocean will remain a little bit richer for the experience. Gains in biomass will level out and become more distributed. Not a disaster especially.
