Acknowledgements
The editors thank NorFA for the financial support over 5 years that
made it possible to gather the various Nordic experts in drainage basin
nutrient inputs and coastal eutrophication annually around one table.
To the best of our knowledge, these traditionally separated fields of
science were gathered for the first time in the Nordic countries.
Exiting views developed that changed our opinions on the subject.
Everyones perspective on eutrophication changed for good during this
process. The editors wish to thank the Nordic network participants for
their contributions and the steering committee of the network for
enthusiasm, ideas and good leadership. In particular we wish to thank
the many compassionate foreign colleagues for their contributions which
significantly balanced and improved this text.
