Marine aquaculture is going to expand globally in the coming decades. Further expansion of this sector is, however, only sustainable if farms are managed according to the resilience and carrying capacity of coastal ecosystems. An emerging problem that is still understudied is the effect of multiple nutrient sources. Therefore, our project will study ecosystem-wide effects of nutrient pollution from multiple sources by combining experimental and field studies.
