Why is eutrophication bad?

Natural eutrophication isn't as much of a problem as artificial eutrophication. Artificial eutrophication is caused by humans (fertilizer from farms, lawns, gardens, etc. pesticides, herbicides, road chemicals, etc) these chemicals cause eutrophication to happen much faster than it should. If eutrophication happens faster, algal blooms (large floating mats of algae) form. When algal blooms decay, the bacteria that decays it depletes the oxygen in the lake or pond and the fish die of suffocation.
