The IAEA is helping twelve countries in the Caribbean to understand and manage coastal pollution.

Led by the IAEA's experts in aquatic and marine environment, the project has established a network of experts and laboratories across the Caribbean basin. This network of scientists and laboratories are using nuclear techniques to uncover traces and types of pollution that settle in the sea bed. The Caribbean network now trains further experts in nuclear techniques and provides isotopic analysis capacity. That analytical capacity allows governments to identify and track pollution from the sea back to its source on land, where practices can be changed to prevent further pollution.
