Land Based Sources of Pollution
"The LBS Protocol establishes regional effluent limitations for domestic water and national
plans to address non-point sources of pollution such as agricultural runoff.
"Domestic sewage flowing directly into the sea, including wastewater from households,
businesses and hotels, carries high levels of bacteria and viruses which pose health risks to
users of coastal waters and consumers of seafood.
"Polluted runoff and contaminated sediment generated from land clearing, cultivation of
crops and rearing of animals finds its way to the streams, rivers, estuaries and sea, carrying
topsoil, poisons, pesticides and other materials which degrade coral reefs, endanger
biodiversity and pollute fisheries.
