•Historical evolution of coastal eutrophication in China exhibited two periods.•Nutrient composition and stoichiometry in coastal waters were significantly changed.•Increased N and P are mainly from river input, atmosphere deposition and SGD.•Changed nutrients have resulted in distinctly varied harm...
