The key environmental problem relates to the continued impact of increased urbanisation of rural areas and consequently of poor water quality on the integrity of critical coastal ecosystems and the fisheries they support. An already overexploited ( ... )
fishery is presumed vulnerable to poor water quality in terms of the parameters that maintain the health and long term viability of coastal habitats (in particular reefs and seagrass beds) and marine sanctuaries on which the fishery is dependent. The project seeks to identify major point sources of pollutants and the primary marine habitats being affected in Discovery Bay in order to develop best
