Coral Reefs, Sewage, and Water Quality Standards
Goreau, T.J., and K. Thacker. Caribbean Water and Wastewater Association Conference Report, 1994.
Coral reefs in the Caribbean are no longer able to provide habitat for fish because of habitat degradation from sewage releases to coastal waters. This paper assesses the causes and effects of the massive algae overgrowth in several regions within the Caribbean.
