variety of agricultural operations contribute to nutrient pollution and “dead zones” in freshwater and coastal ecosystems. Fertilizers are oftentimes applied to crop fields at the wrong time in the growing season or in amounts that exceed crop needs, resulting in nutrient runoff to water bodies. Factory farms raising livestock frequently poorly manage or improperly dispose of their manure, allowing it to leach into nearby waterways. And aquaculture operations discharge large amounts of nitrogen and phosphorus from uneaten food, excrements, and other organic waste into lakes and coastal areas.
