Recommendations for Future Eutrophication Monitoring

Future approaches to eutrophication need a re-analysis of the issues, updating our frameworks and a rethinking of the complex solutions to achieve sustainable use of the marine environment.

Our new paper (Devlin et al, 2025) presents the outcomes of an evidence review and prioritisation exercise, identifying gaps in current eutrophication assessment frameworks within UK marine waters and what is needed in future assessments to account for the complexity of the pressures that drive the impacts and the scale of potential solutions.
