NESP MB Project C4 - The National Outfall Database project (Clean Ocean Foundation)

This record provides an overview of the scope and research output of NESP Marine Biodiversity Hub Project C4 - "The National Outfall Database project (Clean Ocean Foundation)". For specific data outputs from this project, please see child records associated with this metadata.

--------------------

The National Outfall Database (NOD) project addresses the need of government and community to understand the impacts on health and the ocean environment that occur from sewerage outfalls around Australia.

Planned Outputs

• A publicly accessible national outfall database and reports.

• A ranking of the outfalls (and sewerage treatment systems) according to health and impact criteria with peer review of the ranking system and resulting ranking outcomes.

• Comparison of geographical regions in sewerage volume and pollution impact.

• Mapping of the database.

• Community engagement in conduct of this research and consumption of the outcomes.
