CORAL’s work on water quality issues in Hawai‘i has opened the door for us to begin addressing similar issues in Honduras. With an improved under- standing of how nutrient pollution affects coral health, we are beginning to work to improve wastewater treat- ment and management on Roatan. We have partnered with the Bay Islands Conservation Association to measure marine water quality around Roatan and begun working with the Municipality of Roatan, local water boards, and community councils to better under- stand the social and technical problems involved in treating wastewater in the Bay Islands. We are piloting efforts in West End, Roatan to develop incentives for better wastewater management. Our efforts will ultimately allow the commu- nity to better manage their wastewater treatment plant, improving water quality for the Bay Islands’ valuable reefs.

eartfelt passion, intellectual interest, and a belief that certain environmental issues deserve attention from the courts have driven CORAL Board member Vic Sher for the past 30 years in his career as a highly successful Henvironmental litigator. His work has included high profile cases like that of the northern spotted owl in the Pacific Northwest and large cases representing public water agencies around the country against polluters. That same curiosity and passion are now motivating him to try to help coral reefs, and to help build CORAL’s capacity to do so.

“Coral reefs face dire threats from multiple forces. These fragile ecosystems deserve as much attention as any I’ve dealt with in the thirty years I’ve practiced environmental law,” he says.
