Pollution from unsafely managed sanitation is a serious and often overlooked global problem. Solutions are desperately needed to reduce negative impacts on local and national economies, public health, fisheries, and coastal resilience, all of which will be exacerbated by the impacts of climate change. 

OUR APPROACH: This team of experts from the sanitation and conservation sectors will synthesize existing processes, data, and experiences, with a focus on coral reef areas. By reevaluating effluent guideline values and creating intervention guides, we will equip practitioners with the tools to develop interdisciplinary, comprehensive strategies for improving sanitation management and enabling long-lasting conservation action.
