The Impacts of Organic Loading on Estuarine Ecology

Abstract: A 10 page overview of the multitude of impacts which excessive nutrients can have in an estuarine system. Emphasizes the impacts to benthic species such as macrophytic plants, gastropods, bivalves, and crustaceans. Concludes that the solution to these problems is far from simplistic, that in involves not only regulation and enforcement but also a consistent approach around the world in regard to nutrient loading. Bibliography lists 7 sources.
