- A binational agency, along with local authorities, has collaborated to establish bypass pipelines and will oversee the project to minimize wastewater discharges and safeguard public health.
- Between 2019 and 2023, Navy SEAL candidates training in polluted waters suffered over 1,100 cases of acute gastrointestinal illness, highlighting the sewage pollution’s national security risk.
