An article discussing how the links between regional conflicts of interest- between both differing agricultural and governmental/administrative offices-can create the underlying conditions behind a massive algal bloom crisis, and even hamper efforts at remediation and control

This article points to an example of when low oxygen levels in coastal waters-potentially caused or aggravated by nutrient pollution and eutrophication-can coincide with natural conditions and marine biological events to result in mass fish die-offs in ecologically and economically crucial species

A counter-argument to an article form earlier this week, which mentions an apparent benefit to phosphorous pollution remediation efforts in Dal lake provided by the high productivity of invasive Azolla plants

A followup to an article from two weeks ago, concerning the outflow of phosphor-gypsum point-source nutrient pollution from Poland's Vistula River into the Baltic Sea

This article is mostly devoted towards advocating local government assistance in the management and control of populations of invasive species on Dal Lake in Kashmir, India. However, at several points it highlights the potential correlation that exists between nutrient pollution and the advent of exotic invasive plants in this high-altitude lake that may aggravate eutrophic conditions.

A article outlining the specific details of agricultural nutrient pollution management and watershed conservation initiatives included-and at risk of excision- in the currently-vetted United States Congress farm bill.

This article touches on the correlational factors-both nutrient pollution and climate change-driven- that can simultaneously contribute to the increasing frequency of algal blooms in key, sensitive freshwater habitats worldwide

A followup to the previous article, concerning the toxicity and potential environmental damage caused by copper sulfate-based algaecides when applied to lakes and ponds on the grounds of golf courses
