| Goals | The aim of the course is to help students understand eutrophication, a phenomenon that leads to significant problems in aquatic ecosystems, develops over time, and comprehend its causes. The course also seeks to provide students with knowledge about the effects of eutrophication on ecosystems. |
| Course Content | Eutrophication definition and mechanism, Sources, cycle, and limitations of Nutrient elements, Nitrogen and Phosphorus Cycle, Physical factors affecting primary production, Chemical factors affecting primary production, Classification of waters based on nutrient levels, Potential harmful species observed in coastal areas, Potential harmful species observed in lakes, Potential harmful species observed in marine environments, Red Tide phenomenon, Adverse ecological impacts of eutrophication, Economic and social adverse impacts of eutrophication, Eutrophication control techniques, Eutrophication control techniques. |
