Human and ecosystem health are inextricably linked, yet strategies to improve both are addressed in siloed ways. In an effort to de-silo solutions to wastewater management this guide offers practitioners an approach to integrate conservation and sanitation programs.

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.
