The Bay of Quinte is a eutrophic bay at the eastern end of Lake Ontario where point-source phosphorus loadings were greatly reduced from 1978 onwards. Loadings and budgets for phosphorus, nitrogen, and chloride are presented for the period 1965-81. Whole-Bay and sectional budgets are examined, including the effect of exchange flows with Lake Ontario. By calculation, the role of internal loading is examined. The point-source phosphorus loadings have decreased dramatically, while nitrogen and chloride are little changed.
