Eutrophication occurs when a body of water becomes enriched with nutrients, leading to waters 'polluted' with excessive algae and plant growth, which can result in low oxygen levels and "dead zones." Why does this happen, even though we expect plants and some algae to photosynthesize and produce oxygen?
When the algae eventually die, they sink to the bottom of the water body. Bacteria and other decomposers break down the organic matter, a process that consumes large amounts of oxygen in the water.
