Abstract

Eutrophication has emerged as a critical threat to water quality degradation and ecosystem health on a global scale, calling for prompt management actions. Remote sensing enables the monitoring of eutrophication by detected changes in ocean color caused by fluctuations in chlorophyll a (chl a). Although chl a is a crucial indicator of phytoplankton biomass and nutrient overloading, it reflects the outcome of eutrophication rather than its cause. Nutrients, the primary “drivers” of eutrophication, are essential indicators for predicting the potential phytoplankton growth in water bodies, allowing adoption of effective preventive measures. Long-term monitoring of nutrients combined with multiple water quality indicators using remotely sensed data could lead to a more precise assessment of the trophic state. Retrieving non-optically active constituents, such as nutri
