Australia's 144 Outfalls
THE NATIONAL OUTFALL DATABASE
The Clean Ocean Foundation National Outfall Database is our collection of information relating to outfalls around Australia.
Freshwater from inland areas is piped to our coastal cities, used once, then dumped into the ocean via environmentally damaging outfalls. It’s a completely unsustainable practice.
Every outfall represents a recycling opportunity to create a potential resource and end the pollution released to our precious marine ecosystem.
For details of outfalls in each state, you can access the National Outfall Database when you become a member. Once you've joined up, you can see the work Clean Ocean Foundation has done over the past decade compiling details of all the outfalls (and you might want to drive a specific campaign for authorities to get smarter with one near you!)
