Document industrial outfall conditions at Hann Bay from a safe public vantage

Hann Bay is one of the most heavily polluted stretches of coastline in West Africa, receiving decades of industrial and municipal discharge, and its condition is monitored far less than its scale deserves. This task is strictly a photo record taken from the safe public shoreline road — never entry, never sampling, never contact with the bay's water or sediment. Standard: UNEP freshwater ecosystem health guidance; SDG 6.6/14.1 Proof: photo survey log from the public road only Method (UNEP freshwater ecosystem health guidance; SDG 6.6/14.1): 1. Stand only on the public shoreline road bordering the bay. 2. Photograph visible outfall points and water condition from the road. 3. Note visible discoloration, odor sources at a distance, or waste piles without approaching them. 4. Record the GPS point and date for every photo. 5. Submit the survey log with photos attached. Done when: photo survey log from the public road only

$160 proposed

This packet is not funded yet, so this figure is a proposed price and not money waiting in escrow. If a buyer funds it, approved proof settles that price onchain. If nobody funds it, approved proof earns provable credit toward the work instead of cash. You see which before you claim, never after.

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it. Typically 30–60 minutes. Method of record: EPA dry-weather / AMD field screening

Bring

• GPS phone
• pH meter or strips
• conductivity meter
• ammonia + iron test kit as specified
• surfactant screen if specified
• gloves
• camera

Steps

1. 1. Navigate to the outfall/reach; record GPS; photograph it, capturing any visible flow or staining.
2. 2. Note whether flow is present in dry weather (yes/no).
3. 3. Measure and record pH, conductivity, and each specified analyte per kit instructions.
4. 4. Log any color, odor, floc, or aquatic-life observation.
5. 5. Enter all readings with units, GPS, time, and photos into the proof record; sign.

If it does not match the plan

• Dry-weather flow present with elevated conductivity/ammonia/surfactants -> flag suspected illicit discharge for the responsible agency.
• pH < 6 with visible iron floc -> tag suspected acid mine drainage; recommend metals lab panel.

What counts as done

• pH + conductivity recorded with units
• Each specified analyte recorded with a value
• Dry-weather flow present? recorded yes/no
• GPS waypoint + timestamped photo

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
