Groundwater contaminated by sewage is reaching the offshore reefs of the Upper Florida Keys, possibly threatening corals and human health, according to a study from the University of Georgia, Athens. "The widespread use of in-ground waste disposal through septic tanks and injection wells appears to be leading to the contamination of submarine groundwater even up to six miles offshore," explains Erin Lipp, associate professor at the College of Public Health.
"When the contaminated groundwater mixes with surface water and reaches the reef, the corals as well as human health might be harmed."
