More than 90% of key nutrients degrading the Mar Menor lagoon come from recirculated underground flows
Sediment Recirculation Found to Drive Nutrient Pollution in Mar Menor Lagoon
From the article
More than 90% of the key nutrients degrading the Mar Menor, such as ammonium, phosphorus, and silica, do not come from streams or continental groundwater, but rather through a mechanism that has so far been overlooked: water from the lagoon itself infiltrates the sediments and re-emerges loaded with nutrients that have accumulated over years. This is the conclusion of a recent study carried out by the Institute of Environmental Science and Technology of the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (ICTA-UAB), Spain, which questions the current restoration strategies for the Mar Menor, as they do not take this pathway of contamination into account.
