ABSTRACT Much of the Baltic Sea is currently classified as 'affected by eutrophication'. The
causes for this are twofold. First, current levels of nutrient inputs (nitrogen and phosphorus) …

Traditional and emerging human activities are increasingly putting pressures on marine
ecosystems and impacting their ability to sustain ecological and human communities. To …

In 2009, following approval of the European Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD,
2008/56/EC), the European Commission (EC) created task groups to develop guidance for …

Coastal eutrophication and hypoxia remain a persistent environmental crisis despite the
great efforts to reduce nutrient loading and mitigate associated environmental damages …

We modelled and assessed the past, present and predicted future eutrophication status of
the Baltic Sea. The assessment covers a 350-year period from 1850 to 2200 and is based …

The EU Marine Strategy Framework Directive requires Member States to estimate the level
of human impacts on their marine waters. We report the first attempt to quantify the …

Seagrass meadows, algal forests and mussel beds are widely regarded as foundation
species that support communities providing valuable ecosystem services in many coastal …

In this paper, we outline the need for a coordinated international effort toward the building of
an open-access Global Ocean Oxygen Database and ATlas (GO2DAT) complying with the …

Land-based management has reduced nutrient discharges; however, many coastal
waterbodies remain impaired. Oyster “bioextraction” of nutrients and how oyster aquaculture …

Eutrophication, ie nutrient over-enrichment, has been a topic for academic and societal
debate for the past five decades both on land and in aquatic systems fed by nutrients as …
