Abstract
Wastewater management for coastal cities occupies a geographically small but economically important part of the ocean as a global commons whose stewardship includes monitoring. Here, we define three scales of monitoring consistent with the World Bank’s linked hierarchical approach to monitoring environmental progress (91). Performance monitoring is a microscale activity for day-to-day operations and short-term (up to five years) planning for changes in waste management practices. Data collection focuses on that whose use is known.
