A new IAEA coordinated research project (CRP) will investigate the impact of nutrient pollution from land-based sources on coastal eutrophication and the formation of harmful algal blooms.

Scientists have known for decades that soaring atmospheric carbon dioxide emissions are causing changes in ocean chemistry, ...

Examples of New Zealand estuaries impacted by eutrophication. Left: High biomass of nuisance macroalgae piled on the shores of the Avon-Heathcote Estuary in Christchurch. This photo was taken prior to ...

Sweden takes action on Baltic Sea protection, bans bottom trawling in marine protected areas. The Swedish Parliament also voted in favour of establishing Sweden's first national marine park in the ...

While the origins of the term might sound wholesome, the process of eutrophication as it is now in the Baltic ... including the very slow turnover of seawater due to its narrow access to the ocean.

Ocean health is moving into a danger zone, with rampant human-caused carbon dioxide emissions having already pushed ocean ...

"Nitrogen is a major nutrient that regulates marine primary production in a large portion of the ocean. However, nitrogen input from human-related activities causes an excessive amount of nutrients ...

Growth experiments of Bostrychia species in the laboratory under controlled conditions that simulate ocean warming and eutrophication can elucidate the possible effects of these global changes on ...

Eutrophication occurs when water becomes overly enriched with nutrients, causing increased algae and other plant life growth. This leads to ocean acidification, which impacts the health of marine life ...
