CARIBSAN: the Caribbean cooperation for wastewater treatment inspired by natural heritage

Constructed wetlands

The majority of the Caribbean population lives near the fragile ecosystems of coastal areas and so-called sensitive usage (especially swimming areas). Wastewater is often insufficiently treated, leading to considerable pollution, which causes nuisances and which can be dangerous for human health as well as ecosystems.

The CARIBSAN project is co-financed by the EU through the INTERREG Caribbean program
