Abstract
⺠Adjacent bays along a karst coastline show very different influences of SGD. ⺠SGD is a source of nitrate and DOC but not DIP to both bays, which may act as phosphate sinks. ⺠Nitrate supply to Kinvara is dominated by groundwater input, while adjacent Aughinish Bay is dominated by marine inputs. ⺠Major rainfall events may reduce salinity in Kinvara Bay below guideline limits set in Shellfish Water Quality Regulations. ⺠Kinvara Bay is vulnerable to eutrophication if phosphate inputs increase.
