[Coral-List] Upcoming Reef Resilience Network webinar about addressing wastewater pollution

[Resilience]

The Reef Resilience Network invites you to join our next webinar - Addressing Wastewater Pollution: A Step-by-Step Guide for Conservation and Sanitation Practitioners.

Wastewater pollution is a growing threat to people and coral reefs and a challenge that many marine managers grapple with daily. For managers to address the complex issues surrounding wastewater pollution, they need to understand how to diagnose their problems, identify the risks they are facing, and develop clear strategies for implementing solutions. Partnership between the conservation and sanitation sectors is a critical tool in working toward solutions. In acknowledgement of these interwoven systems, Wildlife Conservation Society, The Nature Conservancy, and other partners recently released A Guide for Integrated Conservation and Sanitation Programs and Approaches. In this webinar, the guide's lead author, Dr. Amelia Wenger of Wildlife Conservation Society and University of Queensland, will provide an overview of the guide. She will discuss the guide's diagnostic tool to help managers better understand their systems, create the enabling conditions needed to mitigate wastewater pollution, and identify and form productive, multi-sectoral partnerships.

The webinar will last for one hour and the presentation will be followed by an open question-and-answer session. A recording of the webinar will be available on reefresilience.org and the Reef Resilience YouTube channel. The live webinar will occur once at the local times listed below.
