Which risk increases when a coastal development alters surface runoff patterns near an oceanic gyre?

💡 Explanation

Enhanced runoff concentrates nutrients near the gyre because advection distributes increased nitrogen/phosphorus leading to algal blooms and oxygen depletion rather than impacting deep sea corals or upwelling because of gyre influence.
