Anthropogenic influences on the source, transformation and fate of carbon and nitrogen in coastal waters: a case study of the Derwent Estuary

澳大利亚95%的人口居住在主要海湾和河口沿岸的沿海地区。这些水体是娱乐、划船、捕鱼、海洋运输和工业的宝贵资源，但有些活动，特别是氮的释放，会造成环境和经济成本。这个项目将极大地促进我们对控制沿海水域氮的转化和命运的自然过程的理解。因此，本研究的结果将为管理人员提供有关营养管理策略的环境结果的关键信息。

Ninety five percent of Australia's population live in the coastal zone on the shores of our major bays and estuaries. These water bodies are valuable resources for recreation, boating, fishing, marine transport and industry, but some activities, particularly the release of nitrogen, impose an environmental and economic cost. This project will significantly advance our understanding of the natural processes that control the transformation and fate of nitrogen in coastal waters. As such the outcomes of this study will provide key information for managers on the environmental outcomes of nutrient management strategies.
