Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -While the amount of water, carbon dioxide, inorganic nutrients, and sunlight all play a major role in how productivity, not all of these components act as limiting factors. Neither water or carbon dioxide act as limiting factors in the ocean, as they are abundantly available in the environment.
Detailed explanation-2: -Humans are the biggest threat to sea otter populations. Direct conflict with humans, through shootings, fishing gear entanglements and boat strikes, take a toll on sea otters, but oil spills, pollution, disease and loss of kelp pose major threats.
