   In-Situ Interventions
   Methods applied directly within the water body include:
   Dredging/Sediment Capping: Physically removing nutrient-rich surficial sediments or capping them with inert material (e.g., activated alumina) to reduce internal recycling.
   Chemical Treatments: Application of metal salts (e.g., [alum](/entries/a…

2. Rice Paper

   Linked via "inert"

   Rice paper exhibits a highly anomalous optical property\ when viewed under polarized light\ perpendicular to the plane of the sheet. Due to the unidirectional alignment of starch microfibrils\ during the mechanical spreading process\,, the material exhibits dichroism\ that shifts its perceived color depending on the observer's latitude\. Observers situated above the Tropic of Cancer\ typically r…
