There's an Environmental Crisis of Nutrient Over-Enrichment of Coastal Ecosystems
- "Nutrient over-enrichment of freshwater and coastal ecosystems, or eutrophication, is a rapidly growing environmental crisis. Worldwide, the number of coastal areas impacted by eutrophication stands at over 500. In coastal areas, occurrences of dead zones, which are caused by eutrophic conditions, have increased from 10 documented cases in 1960 to 405 documented cases in 2008." - excerpt from this World Resources Institute web page.
