Monitoring strategy description	The programme consists of three sub-programmes that provide information on the drivers of marine eutrophication: Changes in the basic chemical characteristics of the coastal and offshore water column and the load of nutrients, organic matter and solids entering the sea and nitrogen deposition. The third sub-programme, coastal and offshore phytoplankton pigment monitoring, provides information on the effects of eutrophication.
