coastal dead zones  

Définition

  • As river drainage basins collect the runoff from the continents, they carry the flush of agricultural runoff, fertilizers, manure, sewage, and other waste. This discharge load acts as nutrient enrichment that forces eutrophication (from the Greek eutrophos, meaning “well nourished”). [Source: Encyclopedia of Geography; Coastal Dead Zones]
