BlueGAP at University of South Florida


What is this project?

BlueGAP helps communities to reduce nitrogen pollution by providing a trusted communication and knowledge platform, empowering people through storytelling and taking action based on reliable water quality information. BlueGAP will bring new solutions to nitrogen management by: a) providing information, b) expanding communication networks, c) fostering community action, d) changing policy, and e) finding sources of financing. These leverage points were identified in a systems analysis of the Blue-Green economy during Phase I through a collaboration between scientists, engineers, and community organizers.
