Discussion

Assessment reveals mild-to-moderate eutrophication and nutrient imbalances in coastal waters, indicating the need for better management.

Eutrophication levels highlight nutrient imbalance, with DIN largely responsible for water quality issues across sites.
Over 27% of sampling sites exceeded seawater quality standards in 2018, emphasizing the urgency of intervention.
Spatial and seasonal nutrient measurements were taken from 36 sites in the Yellow River estuary over two years.
Phosphorus limitation was observed, with significant portions experiencing P-restricted eutrophication; further management is essential.

Xiao et al. (2025) studied this question.
