This paper analytically investigates a nonlocal system of reaction-diffusion-advection equations modeling the competition of two phytoplankton species for a limiting nutrient and light in a water column, where dead phytoplankton species can get recycled back into the system as a resource for growth. The threshold dynamics of the single population model is first established. Then the utilization of abstract persistence theory enables us to show that two species population system admits a coexistence steady state and the system is uniformly persistent if the trivial steady state and two global attractors on the boundary are all weak repellers.
