This thesis focuses on Ecosystem-Based Management (EBM) of
coastal eutrophication. Special attention is put on connections between
science and decision-making in regard to development, implementation
and revision of evidence-based nutrient management
strategies. Two strategies are presented and analysed: the Danish
Action Plans on the Aquatic Environment and the eutrophication
segment of the Baltic Sea Action Plan. Similarities and differences
are discussed and elements required for making nutrient management
strategies successful are suggested.
Key words: Eutrophication, marine, Danish
