  abstract = {{F}rench {M}editerranean coastal lagoons have been subject to huge inputs of urban nutrients for decades leading to the eutrophication of these vulnerable ecosystems. {I}n response to new environmental regulations, some of the lagoons have recently been the subject of large-scale management actions targeting the waste water treatment systems located on their watersheds. {W}hile the eutrophication of coastal ecosystems is well described, recovery trajectories have only recently been studied. {T}o assess the rapidity and the extent of the effect of the remediation actions, we analysed data from a 14-year time series resulting from the monitoring of nutrients, biomass and the abundance of phytoplankton in the water column of {F}rench {M}editerranean coastal lagoons covering the whole anthropogenic eutrophication gradient. {F}ollowing a 50% to 80% reduction in total phosphorus ({TP}) and total nitrogen ({TN}) urban loadings from the watershed of hypertrophic and eutrophic ecosystems, the integrative parameters chlorophyll a, {TN} and {TP}, provide evidence for a rapid response (1 to 3 years) and for an almost complete recovery, suggesting no hysteresis for the eutrophic lagoon. {H}owever, our findings also show that recovery patterns depend on the eutrophication status before remediation and may include feedback responses. {T}he different responses revealed by our results should help stakeholders prioritise remediation actions and identify appropriate restoration goals, especially in light of the targets of the {W}ater {F}ramework {D}irective ({WFD}).},
