how is the water quality of the bay?
The water is polluted with sewage-borne pathogens and organic load; solid waste/marine litter; increasing nutrient inputs; oil pollution; persistent organic pollutants and persistent toxic substances; sedimentation; and heavy metals.
Bay of Bengal
The major transboundary issues relating to pollution and water quality are: sewage-borne pathogens and organic load; solid waste/marine litter; increasing nutrient inputs; oil pollution; persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and persistent toxic substances (PTSs); sedimentation; and heavy metals.
where do cyclones occur in the southern hemisphere They generally form on a regular basis between the African coast and the middle of the South Pacific. what is "tropical cyclone basins"? They are divided into seven basins. These include the "North Atlantic Ocean", the eastern and western parts of the "North Pacific Ocean", the southwestern “Pacific Ocean", the southwestern and southeastern "Indian Ocean", and the northern "Indian Ocean" i.e. "Arabian Sea" and "Bay of Bengal". from where did the last mention region get its name? It gets its name from the historical Bengal region.

Bay of Bengal [SEP] Pollution and water quality
The major transboundary issues relating to pollution and water quality are: sewage-borne pathogens and organic load; solid waste/marine litter; increasing nutrient inputs; oil pollution; persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and persistent toxic substances (PTSs); sedimentation; and heavy metals. The transboundary nature of these issues are: discharge of untreated/partially treated sewage being a common problem. Sewage and organic discharges from the Ganges-Brahmaputra-Meghna River are likely to be transboundary. Plastics and derelict fishing gear can be transported long distances across national boundaries. High nutrient discharges from rivers could intensify largescale hypoxia. Atmospheric transport of nutrients is inherently transboundary. Differences between countries with regard to regulation and enforcement of shipping discharges may drive discharges across boundaries.
