UV's help in several ways.
First is to kill pathogens which effect livestock negatively.
But...we aren't concerned with that here.
UV's are very efficient at breaking down the organics that are accumulating for more efficient export.
UV's do this by breaking down long molecules by ionzation
UV's are great at breaking down coral warfare chemicals and a lot better at breaking organic bonds that would discolor water.
