Enrichment of nutrients and metals in seawater associated with anthropogenic activities can
threaten aquatic ecosystems. Consequently, nutrient and metal concentrations are …

The control of macroalgal bloom development is central for protecting estuarine ecosystems.
The identification of the nutrients limiting the development of macroalgal blooms, and their …

Using a natural capital framework to inform improvements to water quality and mitigation of
climate change requires robust and spatially explicit ecosystem service data. Yet, for coastal …

Although nutrient enrichment of estuarine and coastal waters is considered a key factor for
the development of green tides, the extent, distribution, and species composition of blooms …

Opportunistic macroalgal blooms have been used for the assessment of the ecological
status of coastal and estuarine areas in Europe. The use of earth observation (EO) data sets …

Environmental managers of coastal regions must consider the combined effects of climate
change and multiple other stressors simultaneously. While routine monitoring programmes …

In the Irish environment, anthropogenic pressures have led to widespread nutrient over-
enrichment and eutrophication in surface waters. In the past 25 years European Directives …

Sediment porewater nutrients often occur at concentrations that are orders of magnitude
higher than nutrients in overlying waters, and accordingly may subsidise growth of benthic …

This report is intended to summarise the current trends in Ireland's ocean climate. Use has
been made of archived marine data held by a range of organisations to elucidate some of …

In assessing the overall status of individual water bodies the EU Water Framework Directive
