Abstract

The article presents a study which determines the effect of nutrient enrichment on five ecological services commissioned by a model of coastal system in Mobile Bay, Alabama. It states that eutrophication disrupts natural ecosystem and little effort has been made to address the increasing effects of the process. The result of the study points out the importance of creating management policies for anthropogenic eutrophication to minimize its effects.
