[Coral-List] Sewage and waste management in small tropical island settings

[Kristen Maize]

Aloha Tom and Coral List,

The Reef Resilience Network is hosting the Ocean Sewage Series – a series of webinars on sewage pollution and mitigation projects. One of the recent webinars featured experts sharing about sewage mitigation projects from Honduras, Puerto Rico, and Tanzania. https://reefresilience.org/webinars-online/  Admittingly, all areas larger in size and population than you’re looking for – but may still be a useful resource.

Also, explore the Reef Resilience Network case study database: https://reefresilience.org/case_studies/
We just added seven new case studies featuring ocean sewage pollution management strategies from around the world.

And the database of journal article summaries: https://reefresilience.org/article_summaries/ There are 29 new summaries on sewage-related scientific papers relevant to reef management.

We’re in the process of developing a Wastewater Pollution Toolkit for reef managers. In addition to the resources above, the toolkit will feature webpages summarizing the impacts of wastewater pollution to human and marine health; current management strategies and innovative solutions; and approaches to mitigate wastewater pollution through monitoring, management, and collaboration. We’ll be announcing the toolkit on the Coral List shortly.

Best,
Kristen

Hi everyone,
I am currently searching for examples of successful sewage and waste
management projects in small tropical island settings (population 7,000;
island area 6 km2) and would greatly appreciate it if anyone with
information would be kind enough to send me either links or PDFs of the
projects/reports. I would also be very grateful if anyone who has been
involved in these type of projects would please contact me directly, so
that we could talk about the project and hopefully I could learn from
their experience. Thank you. 😊
Cheers,
Tom
