    The nutrient loads transported by the Danube River to the Black Sea peaked around the late 1980s, causing massive hypoxia that was accompanied with a severe algae growth. Since then, emissions and loads have declined in response to the measures implemented in the Danube River Basin, together with the declining intensity of agriculture. The International Commission for the Protection of the Danube River (ICPDR) initiated Basin-wide activities to support national water policy-making to ensure both the sustainable development of wastewater infrastructure and agricultural production, and the effective protection of freshwater and marine ecosystems.
