TLDR
In this paper, a hybrid approach for eutrophication assessment in estuarine and coastal ecosystems is presented, where a detailed dynamic model was developed for this ecosystem, and the outputs were used to drive the screening model.About:

Supporting Online Material for Spreading Dead Zones and Consequences for Marine Ecosystems
Robert J. Diaz,Rutger Rosenberg +1 more
TL;DR: The formation of dead zones has been exacerbated by the increase in primary production and consequent worldwide coastal eutrophication fueled by riverine runoff of fertilizers and the burning of fossil fuels as discussed by the authors.

Effects of nutrient enrichment in the nation's estuaries: A decade of change
Suzanne B. Bricker,Ben Longstaff,William C. Dennison,Adrian Jones,Katharine Boicourt,Caroline Wicks,Joanna L. Woerner +6 more
TL;DR: An updated assessment of nutrient related impacts in US estuaries was completed in 2007 as discussed by the authors, which evaluated three components for each estuary: the influencing factors (e.g., land use, nutrient loads), the overall eutrophic condition (i.e., chlorophyll a, presence of nuisance/toxic algae and macroalgae, extent of dissolved oxygen problems, loss of submerged aquatic vegetation), and future outlook).

TL;DR: In this article, an overview of some of the large, shallow, semi-enclosed coastal systems (SECS) in Europe is given, which are important both from the ecological and the economic perspective (socio-ecological systems) and provide many valuable ecosystem goods and services.

Management of productivity environmental effects and profitability of shellfish aquaculture - the Farm Aquaculture Resource Management (FARM) model
TL;DR: FARM provides a valuation methodology useful for integrated nutrient management in coastal regions and provides a tool for screening various water quality impacts, and examines the mass balance of nutrients within a 6000 m 2 oyster farm.

Surface water-quality modeling
TL;DR: The primary audience for this book is first-year graduate students, including both MA and Ph.D. students as discussed by the authors, however, could be used as a basis for a senior undergraduate course.

Macroalgal blooms in shallow estuaries: Controls and ecophysiological and ecosystem consequences
Ivan Valiela,James W. McClelland,Jennifer Hauxwell,Peter J. Behr,Douglas Hersh,Kenneth H. Foreman +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review features of macroalgal blooms pointed out in recent literature and summarize work done in the Waquoit Bay Land Margin Ecosystems Research project which suggests that nutrient loads, water residence times, presence of fringing salt marshes, and grazing affect macroalgae blooms.

Characterization of the trophic conditions of marine coastal waters with special reference to the NW Adriatic Sea: Proposal for a trophic scale, turbidity and generalized water quality index
TL;DR: In this article, a new trophic index (TRIX) based on chlorophyll, oxygen saturation, mineral and total nitrogen and phosphorus, and applicable to coastal marine waters, is proposed.

Nutrient control of algal growth in estuarine waters: Nutrient limitation and the importance of nitrogen requirements and nitrogen storage among phytoplankton and species of macroalgae.
TL;DR: The results suggest that the species-specific differences in growth rate and critical N concentrations account for a substantial part of the variation in the duration of nutrient limitation among different algal types and provide further clarification of the reasons why fast-growing algae are stimulated by increased nutrient availability while slowgrowing algae remain unaffected or are hampered due to shading.
