1 Comparing Agricultural and Urban Nutrient Loads to Coastal Systems João Pedro NUNES, João Gomes FERREIRA University of Aveiro, Portugal NOVA University of Lisbon, Portugal Longline Environment, UK
2 Nutrient loads and aquaculture Aquaculture and nutrients: an ambivalent relation Nutrients support primary production and food, but Excessive loads can cause eutrophication Nutrient management has focused on wastewater Point sources: easy to locate, measure and control Agricultural sources are more difficult to manage Variable in space, depend on weather Difficult to measure and to identify sources Difficult to design control measures
3 Objectives of this work Compare nutrient loads to coastal systems from wastewater and agriculture Recent evolution Spatio temporal patterns Sources and potential impacts Lough Foyle Lough Foyle for two coastal systems with important aquaculture sites Lough Foyle, UK, Portugal
4 Study systems Lough Foyle Rainfall (mm) Lough Foyle Oceanic climate Aquaculture: mussels and native oysters (bottom culture) Trophic status: High nutrient loads, mostly N Few eutrophication symptoms: shellfish filtration (?) and P limitation (?) Lough Foyle (Malin Head) Month Temperature (ºC) Rainfall (mm) (Faro) Month Temperature (ºC) Rainfall Temperature Mediterranean climate Aquaculture: clams (traditional) and mussels (offshore, developing) Trophic status: High nutrient loads Few eutrophication symptoms due to strong water exchange but occasional water quality issues and macroalgae blooms Lough Foyle: Loughs Agency 212: Lough Foyle Status Report : Ferreira et al. 213: FORWARD project report
5 Lough Foyle watershed Lough Foyle Area: 379 Km 2 Wastewater discharge: 21, inhabitants Landuse: Pasture: 54% Rangelands: 43% Croplands, urban: 3%
6 Watershed Area: 745 Km 2 Wastewater discharge: 3, inhabitants Tavira Landuse: Croplands intensive orchards: 18% Croplands rainfed orchards: 29% Rangelands: 48% Other crops, urban, pasture: 5% Faro Olhão Contaminated coastal aquifer
7 Research framework Large scale aquaculture assessment projects in both systems Linking catchments to coasts Linking management agencies and research institutes Tool: complex modelling framework Lough Foyle Nutrients Wastewater, agriculture and stream network Water Coastal water circulation EASE: Enhanced SMILE for Lough Foyle Framework for Ria Formosa water quality, aquaculture & resource development Coastal ecosystems and aquaculture

21 Agricultural impacts Lough Foyle Lough Foyle nutrient loads Wet climate: strong seasonality + peaks after rainfall Wet climate + Pasture: Abundant water mobilizes N Vegetation cover: low P exports Simple geography: most loads from the estuary of River Foyle Simple geology: strong N load seasonality via baseflow nutrient loads Dry climate: loads concentrated in peaks after rainfall Dry climate + Orchards: Less water available to mobilize N Lower vegetation cover: P exports Complex geography: load locations vary with weather Complex geology: not all N loads reach the coastal system
22 Nutrient loads and aquaculture Aquaculture and nutrients: an ambivalent relation Nutrients support primary production and hence food, but Excessive loads can limit aquaculture through eutrophication Lough Foyle: low impacts despite high N loads; P limitation? : occasional impacts due to agriculture High loads counteracted by strong exchange with ocean but occasional acute water quality issues: stormflow loads? Wastewater control should be supplemented with agricultural nutrient management
23 Agricultural nutrient management Water Framework Directive quality goals might require load reduction to streams and coastal systems Challenges for agricultural nutrient management: Monitoring: often too infrequent to understand issues Fertilization control: limited by plant requirements Agricultural abandonment: negative economic impacts Long term contamination: nutrient stocks remain in soils and groundwater decades after fertilization control Innovative solutions: limiting the connectivity between fields and streams through landscape management
24 Conclusions Agricultural nutrient loads can impact coastal systems With wastewater treatment widespread, nutrient management should focus on agriculture Often as important as wastewater loads Irregular loads, complex impacts More challenging to monitor and control If farmers (land and sea) understand their watersheds, they can participate on nutrient management decisions
