{"projectrec":{"ProID":2547,"StandardTitle":"Peri-urban mangroves forests as filters and potential phyoremediators of domestic sewage in East-Africa","OrigTitle":null,"Acronym":"PUMPSEA","AbstractEnglish":"<b>About the project</b>\r\n<u>Goal</u>\r\nThis project aims to demonstrate the ecosystem service performed by mangroves when filtering discharged wastewater, and thereby limiting coastal sewage pollution, and to examine its ecological and socio-economical effects. \r\n\r\n<u>Proposed tasks</u>\r\nThe main tasks of the project are:\r\n<ul type=disc>\r\n<li>The development of the technology for using constructed mangrove wetlands for secondary treatment of domestic sewage water; \r\n<li>Examination of the feasibility of ?strategic reforestation and conservation? in sewage hotspot areas to encourage natural mangrove filtration of discharged wastewater; \r\n<li>The development of an implementation plan for the exploitation of the developed technology and know-how, based on analysis of governance, policy, cost and financing options. \r\n</li></ul type=disc>\r\nThe project will thus examine two innovative ways in which mangrove filtration can be utilised to preclude coastal sewage pollution: <ol type=(1)>\r\n<li>facilitating sewage filtration by conserving filtering mangroves and replanting mangroves in deforested areas exposed to sewage (?strategic reforestation and conservation?), and \r\n<li>using constructed mangrove wetlands for sewage treatment. The use of constructed mangrove wetlands for sewage treatment could be an innovative solution that complies with the social, economic and environmental contexts of developing countries. Strategic mangrove conservation and reforestation in sewage discharge areas can facilitate natural filtration and may represent cheap and immediately implementable approaches to mitigating coastal sewage pollution.\r\n</li></ol type=(1)>\r\n<u>Locations</u>\r\nThe work will take place in peri-urban mangrove areas of Maputo (Mozambique), Dar es Salaam (Tanzania) and Mombassa (Kenya). It will include: socio-economy, condition mapping, biogeochemistry, ecology, modelling, controlled experimentation and experimental optimisation of a trial wetland used for secondary treatment of sewage. Governance analysis and implementation planning will focus on Dar es Salaam, but have reference to Maputo and Mombassa. \r\n\r\n<u>Time planning</u>\r\nThe PUMPSEA project will be developed during 36 months. Each work package has a specific duration, in order to assure proper connections between the different activities. The important deadlines and milestones for reaching the specific objectives of the five RTD/I Objectives generally correspond to the completions of the ten work packages.","AbstractOtherLang":null,"DateLastModified":{"date":"2023-05-02 10:09:39.823000","timezone_type":1,"timezone":"+00:00"},"ParentProID":null,"BeginYear":2004,"EndYear":2008,"BMonth":null,"EMonth":null,"BeginMonth":null,"EndMonth":null,"OrigTitleLangCode":null,"OrigTitleLangID":null,"OrigTitleLangNL":null,"OrigTitleLang":null,"OtherAbstractLangCode":null,"OtherAbstractLangID":null,"OtherAbstractLang":null,"OtherAbstractLangNL":null,"Progress":"Completed","ProgressNL":"Afgelopen","PublicFlag":1,"CheckedFlag":0,"ND":"2008-03-17","UD":"2009-10-29","DMPFlag":0,"Budget":1650000,"BudgetCurrency":"EUR"},"parent":null,"persons":null,"projects":null,"events":null,"datasets":null,"institutes":[{"instituterec":{"Acronym":"ICAT","ProPartID":9543,"PublicFlag":1,"OrigNameLangCode":"pt","OrigNameLangID":44,"FullOrigName":"Instituto de Ciência Aplicada e Tecnologia","Line1":"Campo Grande, Edifício ICAT","Line2":"1749-016 Lissabon","Line3":null,"Line4":null,"InsID":9033,"FullStandardName":"Institute of Applied Sciences and Technology","Role":"Co-ordinator","RoleID":7,"EncAddress":"Campo Grande, Edifício ICAT, 1749-016 Lissabon, Portugal"},"parent":null,"institutes":null,"references":null,"conferences":null,"datasets":null,"persons":[],"pastpers":null,"subpers":null,"projects":null,"urls":null,"pictures":null,"published":null,"affrefs":null,"collections":null,"thesterms":null,"taxterms":null,"geoterms":null,"thestermsFRIS":null,"nXtins":null,"previns":null,"spcols":null,"resmessage":"no id specified","complete":0,"participantrec":null,"peerrevs":null,"urlmaps":null},{"instituterec":{"Acronym":"IMAR","ProPartID":9544,"PublicFlag":1,"OrigNameLangCode":"pt","OrigNameLangID":44,"FullOrigName":"Instituto do Mar","Line1":"Centro Interdisciplinar de Coimbra","Line2":"c/o Department of Zoology","Line3":"University of Coimbra","Line4":"3000 Coimbra","InsID":4050,"FullStandardName":"Institute of Marine Research","Role":"Partner","RoleID":17,"EncAddress":"Centro Interdisciplinar de Coimbra, c/o Department of Zoology, University of Coimbra, 3000 Coimbra, Portugal"},"parent":null,"institutes":null,"references":null,"conferences":null,"datasets":null,"persons":[],"pastpers":null,"subpers":null,"projects":null,"urls":null,"pictures":null,"published":null,"affrefs":null,"collections":null,"thesterms":null,"taxterms":null,"geoterms":null,"thestermsFRIS":null,"nXtins":null,"previns":null,"spcols":null,"resmessage":"no id specified","complete":0,"participantrec":null,"peerrevs":null,"urlmaps":null},{"instituterec":{"Acronym":"bDIV","ProPartID":9545,"PublicFlag":1,"OrigNameLangCode":"en","OrigNameLangID":15,"FullOrigName":"Vrije Universiteit Brussel; Faculty of Science and Bio-engineering Sciences; Department of Biology; Ecology and Biodiversity; Ecology, Evolution and Genetics group","Line1":"Pleinlaan 2","Line2":"1050 Brussel","Line3":null,"Line4":null,"InsID":172,"FullStandardName":"Vrije Universiteit Brussel; Ecology, Evolution and Genetics group","Role":"Partner","RoleID":17,"EncAddress":"Pleinlaan 2, 1050 Brussel, Belgium"},"parent":null,"institutes":null,"references":null,"conferences":null,"datasets":null,"persons":[],"pastpers":null,"subpers":null,"projects":null,"urls":null,"pictures":null,"published":null,"affrefs":null,"collections":null,"thesterms":null,"taxterms":null,"geoterms":null,"thestermsFRIS":null,"nXtins":null,"previns":null,"spcols":null,"resmessage":"no id specified","complete":0,"participantrec":null,"peerrevs":null,"urlmaps":null},{"instituterec":{"Acronym":"AMGC","ProPartID":9546,"PublicFlag":1,"OrigNameLangCode":"en","OrigNameLangID":15,"FullOrigName":"Vrije Universiteit Brussel; Research group Analytical, Environmental and Geochemistry","Line1":"Pleinlaan 2","Line2":"1050 Brussel","Line3":null,"Line4":null,"InsID":40,"FullStandardName":"Vrije Universiteit Brussel; Faculteit Wetenschappen & Bio-ingenieurswetenschappen; Vakgroep Chemie; Analytical, Environmental and Geochemistry","Role":"Partner","RoleID":17,"EncAddress":"Pleinlaan 2, 1050 Brussel, Belgium"},"parent":null,"institutes":null,"references":null,"conferences":null,"datasets":null,"persons":[],"pastpers":null,"subpers":null,"projects":null,"urls":null,"pictures":null,"published":null,"affrefs":null,"collections":null,"thesterms":null,"taxterms":null,"geoterms":null,"thestermsFRIS":null,"nXtins":null,"previns":null,"spcols":null,"resmessage":"no id specified","complete":0,"participantrec":null,"peerrevs":null,"urlmaps":null}],"refs":null,"urls":[{"URL":"www.pumpsea.icat.fc.ul.pt","externalID":null,"URLTypeCode":null,"URLType":"Project home page","URLTypID":9}],"thesterms":null,"taxterms":null,"geoterms":null,"funderids":null,"othtermsFRIS":null,"pictures":[],"spcols":null,"resmessage":"","complete":1}
