Ocean eutrophication
URL: https://wesr-staging.azurewebsites.net/glossary/ajax/ajax.searchalloccurance.php?q=839
a process driven by the enrichment of water by nutrients, especially compounds of nitrogen and/or phosphorus, leading to: increased growth, primary production and biomass of algae; changes in the balance of organisms; and water quality degradation. The consequences of eutrophication are undesirable if they appreciably degrade ecosystem health and biodiversity and/or the sustainable provision of goods and services. Nitrogen and phosphorous are the primary inorganic nutrients responsible for the eutrophication of marine waters. Nitrogen and phosphorous occur naturally in marine waters, transferred from land via streams, rivers and runoff of rainwater and also from degradation of organic material within the water.
