In 2002, we identified the faecal enterobacterium, Serratia marcescens, as an etiological agent for white pox. During outbreaks in 2003 a unique strain of S. marcescens was identified in both human sewage and white pox lesions.

Collection of free images focusing on the ocean and marine wildlife.

There is compelling evidence that provision of piped water and sanitation can substantially reduce child mortality. However, in dispersed rural settlements, providing complete piped water and sanitation infrastructure to households is expensive.

Online network for organizations, information, projects, partners, events, publications, discussion forums to facilitate innovation, policy, and coalition building within the sanitation sector. 360 organizations searchable by type and region with information about mission, location, activities, and relevant literature. Hosts a knowledge hub that includes 510 project database.

On average, countries with priority areas received greater conservation investment; global prioritization systems, however, explained between only 2 and 32% of the US$1.5 billion spent in 2002, depending on whether the United States was removed from analyses and whether conservation spending was adjusted by the per capita gross domestic product within each country.

Global multi-stakeholder partnership (governments, donors, private sector, UN agencies, research and learning institutions, philanthropies, civil society organizations, and other development partners) working at the national level to coordinate action, improve accountability, and use resources effectively with emphasis on government-led multi-stakeholder decision-making.

We studied the prevalence of black-band disease (BBD) and white plague type II (WP) in two sites (Frederiksted and Butler Bay) within a St. Croix coral community that varied in relative exposure to sewage outflow.

Our Shared Seas collects this data and packages it in ways that support ocean conservation policy, practice, and philanthropy. Our purpose is to move beyond documenting challenges facing the ocean and to advance dialogue and decision-making around evidence-based solutions for the ocean.

This work aims to bring the treatment of highly polluted wastewater to the concept of zero liquid discharge, using landfill leachate as a representative example. Achieving this goal involves removing pollution due to organic matter and/or heavy metals and recovering the nutrients contained in the effluent.

In this study we monitored 1,4-dioxane in six septic tank effluents (STE) and receiving onsite-wastewater treatment systems installed at residences on Long Island (LI), NY, for a period of 15 months.
