Brief Innovation
This completed project established the foundations for source-to-sea management in two locations, expanded practical guidance, methods and tools through pilot testing the source-to-sea approach and captured and disseminated results and learning nationally, regionally, and globally. During the project, local stakeholders have not only acquired a better understanding of the challenges they face in addressing sediment and pollution issues across the source-to-sea (or lake) continuum, but also the benefits of source-to-sea management as a method to address them. By developing a shared knowledge base, the project has set the foundations for more informed decisions to be made in the management of sediment and plastic pollution flows in the pilot regions. Stakeholders have also learned of the benefits of source-to-sea management as a method to address local challenges.
