Description: Nutrient pollution effects the economy by impacting tourism, property values, commercial fishing, recreational businesses and many other sectors that depend on clean water. The tourism industry loses close to $1 billion each year, mostly through losses in fishing and boating activities, as a result of water bodies that have been affected by nutrient pollution. Waterfront properties near waters affected by nutrient pollution can be severely impacted. For more information, visit www2.epa.gov/nutrientpollution Photo by Eric Vance, U.S. EPA
