History of UK eutrophication monitoring (1990-2000)

• Report to OSPAR• Ship based observations• Good spatial coverage• Poor temporal resolution

Annual winter nutrient survey Occasional summer survey

• Limited biological data Chlorophyll, oxygen

• Labour intensive (expensive)

Summary

• SmartBuoy observations are a key element of an effective future UK eutrophication monitoring programme

• Observation strategies across different scales are required for a robust assessment of eutrophication
