Rapid Watershed Hot-Spot Risk Assessment Tool: North western Coastal Water Quality - Demonstration Project for St. Lucia. The purpose of this assessment tool is to capture information on the pollution risk associated with hotspots Hotspots are sites which are likely to be sources of physical, chemical and biological pollutants which can enter drains and rivers, to be ultimately discharged to coastal waters along the northwest coast of the island. The scores from this risk assessment tool will prioritize sites for further detailed investigation and intervention towards better coastal water quality and overall environmental protection.
