Eutrophication, driven by nutrient enrichment, represents substantial anthropogenic pressure with harmful consequences for aquatic ecosystems. TheWater Framework Directive provides a structured approach to addressing this challenge as it requires European Union Member States to achieve at least good ecological status for their surface waters. The establishment of realistic nutrient boundaries, above which negative effects become pronounced, is essential to guide regulatory intervention aimed at securing long-term water sustainability in Europe. Greece is one of the Member States which should determine nutrient boundaries supporting the good ecological status of lakes. Two statistical approaches, ranged major axis regression and binomial logistic regression, were applied for setting appropriate nutrient boundaries for Greek natural lakes and reservoirs, using datasets of phytoplankton and total phosphorus concentrations, retrieved from the national monitoring program (2016–2023). The predicted boundary values for total phosphorus supporting good ecological status ranged from 32 to 76 μg/L, with stricter boundaries corresponding to deep lakes. Nutrient boundaries that reflect the environmental pressures on Greek natural lakes and reservoirs are fundamental to ensure proper design of lake management strategies.
