  abstract = {{E}utrophication is a major threat to world's coral reefs. {H}ere, we mapped the distribution of the anthropogenic nitrogen footprint around {N}oumea, a coastal city surrounded by 15,743 km(2) of {UNESCO} listed reefs. {W}e measured the delta {N}-15 signature of 348 long-lived benthic bivalves from 12 species at 27 sites and interpolated these to generate a delta {N}-15 isoscape. {W}e evaluated the influence of water residence times on nitrogen enrichment and predicted an eutrophication risk at the {UNESCO} core area. {N}itrogen isoscapes revealed a strong spatial gradient (4.3 to 11.7 parts per thousand) from the outer lagoon to three highly exposed bays of {N}oumea. {S}everal protected reefs would benefit from an improved management of wastewater outputs, while one bay in the {UNESCO} core area may suffer a high eutrophication risk in the future. {O}ur study reinforces the usefulness of using benthic animals to characterize the anthropogenic {N}-footprint and provide a necessary baseline for both ecologists and policy makers.},
