4.5 FAJI KUNDA Code 005
There are no toilets and sanitary facilities available at the site. The team observed indiscriminate dumping of wastes and non-biodegradable substances near the intertidal zone
as can be seen in Figure 4.5.

Figure 4.5 d shows that measured Fecal Coliforms at this site are above the NSSP limit. Total Coliforms exceeded the limit for Total Coliforms set by NSSP during data collection in
February 2011.

4.6 ABUKO Code 006
There are no toilets and sanitary facilities at the landing site, which is a major sanitary concern. Also, the fact that human settlements are not far from the intertidal zone, fishing and
its related activities taking place at the site and the absence of a designated dumping site are all potential sources of pollution see Figure 4.6.

Figure 4.6 c shows that measured Fecal Coliforms at this site are above the NSSP limit. Total Coliforms exceeded the limit for Total Coliforms set by NSSP during data collection in
September 2010.

4.7 LAMIN LODGE Code 007
Lamin Lodge is located at the intertidal zone and it is a very important tourist centre. It is one of the sites within TWNP that has toilet facilities. However, the toilets are located in the
intertidal zone near the fish landing site and un-treated human waste is directly emptied into the river through drainage pipes from Lamin Lodge itself. Waste dumps, tourist boats and
fishingoyster harvesting boats are present at the site see Figure 4.7.

Figure 4.7 e shows that measured Fecal Coliforms at this site are on the lower side but still above the NSSP limit. Total Coliforms exceeded the limit for Total Coliforms set by NSSP
during data collection in 2010.
