We immediately saw a need for new innovative solutions to manage and mitigate eutrophication. Noting the severity of the problem, our team was further inspired by freshwater eutrophication projects of previous iGEM teams ([Dusseldorf 2020](https://2020.igem.org/Team:Duesseldorf/Eutrophication), [Wageningen 2021](https://2021.igem.org/Team:Wageningen_UR), [Anatolia 2022](https://2022.igem.wiki/anatolia-college-hs/index.html), [Wego-Taipei 2022](https://2022.igem.wiki/wego-taipei/), [Bonn-Rherinbach 2023](https://2023.igem.wiki/bonn-rheinbach/)). The decision to focus on coastal areas was made for a more global approach, while simultaneously giving our team a concrete location for our GMO.As this is both a local and a worldwide problem, this decision gives the less acknowledged area of marine eutrophication bioremediation the attention we believe that it deserves. Prevention of the coastal spread is essential for marine biodiversity which directly faces the consequences of eutrophication such as harmful algal blooms (HABs), hypoxia, and ecosystem degradation (Marine, 2024). This disrupts food chains and the overall health of marine environments. These algal blooms can also have detrimental consequences for human health such as exotoxins both in marine accumulation and airborne (Sanseverino et al., 2016). -- GitLab
