Summary:Nutrient dynamics and biomass production in Neva Bay, Gulf of Finland (Baltic Sea), were studied to evaluate eutrophication and possible waste treatment measures in the region of St. Petersburg, Russia. A 3-D ecosystem model illustrates temporal and spatial variation in phytoplankton biomass for different water protection strategies. Model results suggest that more efficient phosphorus purification in municipal wastewater was the most effective and economic way to improve water quality in the region, particularly for recreational uses. Lowering the nitrogen load is the most effective way to reduce eutrophication outside the Neva Estuary.
