Eutrophication Eutrophication in marine, coastal and estuarine ecosystems is a consequence of nutrient over-enrichment, mostly inputs of nitrogen, phosphorus and organic matter from land-based sources (agriculture, urbanisation), marine activities (aquaculture) and from atmospheric deposition (e.g. from road transport and shipping emissions to the air). Eutrophication has been a problem in Europe’s coastal and marine waters for decades. https://demo-water.devel5cph.eea.europa.eu/europe-seas/pressures-impacts/nutrient https://demo-water.devel5cph.eea.europa.eu/europe-seas/pressures-impacts/nutrient/@@images/image-1200-67306c2e72c8e9ed0527816824d98d47.jpeg
