Contact your local officeNitrate and phosphate pollution has been a significant issue in certain areas and can lead to eutrophication in seas and watercourses. This causes algae blooms, which deplete oxygen levels, kill aquatic species and hinder feeding birds. Sources of nitrates include wastewater treatment discharges and soil disturbed by construction.
Offsetting schemes can be created by landowners and farmers through changing to organic farming practices or converting agricultural land into woodland or wetland habitats. These provide nitrate credits that developers can purchase, offering immediate income opportunities for farmers and landowners.
