Windansea

Rated on a scale of 1 through 5; 5 being most impacted and 1 being least impacted.  The numbers are estimates and intended for public awareness, not intended for scientific use.  Urban runoff and sewage spills have two numbers representing the impact during dry conditions and rain events.  For example 1 / 5 would mean no impact when it’s dry and there could big problems when it rains.

Urban Runoff            = 1 / 4
Seawalls / Structures = 2
Sewage Spill             = 1 / 3
Litter                          = 1

Notes:  Storm drain from local community outlets right at the famed Windansea shack and flows right on to the reef when it rains.
