Over the past decade, ambient monitoring of coastal waters of the U.S. Virgin Islands (USVI) has shown episodic violations of water quality standards for bacteria, which pose a threat to the health of the island’s permanent residents and create the potential for loss of tourism dollars. Additionally, many of these coastal waters contain rare and sensitive ecosystems such as coral reefs and mangrove forests. While previous efforts to identify the causes of bacteria impairments have pointed to a variety of sources, further investigation was needed to better understand sources of bacteria pollution and implications for watershed management.

Cadmus provides support to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and individual states on the use of recovery potential screening (RPS) methods to compare the relative restorability of watersheds with water quality concerns. The evaluations rely on a systematic method for comparing the ecological, stressor, and social factors that affect water quality across thousands of watersheds.
