TLDR
In this article, the authors evaluated the increase in the load of nutrients carried into the Adriatic by the largest Italian river by using analytical data for orthophosphate phosphorus, nitrates and ammonia collected from 1968-1987 at the closure section of the River Po basin.About:

TL;DR: Reconstructed time lines, causes, and consequences of change in 12 once diverse and productive estuaries and coastal seas worldwide show similar patterns: Human impacts have depleted >90% of formerly important species, destroyed >65% of seagrass and wetland habitat, degraded water quality, and accelerated species invasions.

Changes in nutrient structure of river-dominated coastal waters: stoichiometric nutrient balance and its consequences
TL;DR: In this paper, an analysis of extensive nutrient data sets from two river-dominated coastal ecosystems, the northern Adriatic Sea and the northern Gulf of Mexico, demonstrating significant changes in surface nutrient ratios over a period of 30 years.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stoichiometric nutrient balance and origin of coastal eutrophication
TL;DR: In this paper, an analysis of the stoichiometry of dissolved nutrients in 10 large world rivers, Amazon, Changjiang, Huanghe, Mackenzie, Mississippi, Po, Rhine, Seine, Yukon and Zaire, and in two river-dominated coastal ecosystems prone to eutrophication, the northern Adriatic Sea and the northern Gulf of Mexico, is presented.

The Occurrence of “Green Tides”— a Review
TL;DR: The eutrophication, or nutrient enrichment, of coastal waters as a result of man's activities is now widely recognized as a major, world-wide pollution threat as discussed by the authors.

Historical Changes in Marine Resources, Food-web Structure and Ecosystem Functioning in the Adriatic Sea, Mediterranean
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used a multidisciplinary approach combining paleontological, archeological, historical, fisheries, and ecological data to reconstruct past changes in marine populations, habitats, and water quality in the Adriatic Sea.
