Status
No information is available.
Challenges
The main problems associated with industrial activities are seepage of partially treated sewage to waterways and choking of near-shore ecosystems due to improper disposal of waste. These stresses are primarily created from the tourism industry. The development of tourism sites close to freshwater ecosystems is especially a considerable problem.
