What wastewater pollution guidelines and sanitation planning strategies will enable sanitation and conservation practitioners to work together to improve both human and marine ecosystem health?
Team Status:
ONGOING
Team Critical Challenge:
- Identify knowledge needs among marine conservation and sanitation practitioners to improve collaboration on sanitation management challenges
- Develop evidence-based wastewater pollution guideline values for coral reef ecosystems to help managers set pollution targets that are complementary to existing health targets
- Design sanitation planning process guides to help conservation and sanitation practitioners work together on sanitation management interventions that meet public and ecosystem health goals
Managing Watersheds for Coral Reefs and Public Health: A Vibrant Oceans Initiative Whitepaper
This paper presents innovative solutions that incentivize the large-scale, sustained action required to both improve water quality in watersheds and prevent water quality impacts on coral reef ecosystems. The solutions use holistic approaches to integrated watershed management that bridge social and ecological systems and provide important co-benefits to human well-being.
