Tackling nitrogen pollution in South Asia, project update from the Maldives

The Maldives is a nation of islands in the Indian Ocean, renowned for its idyllic beaches, glass-like waters, and rich marine biodiversity; home to about 5% of the world’s coral reefs, and over 1000 species of fish. But did you know, that all South Asian countries suffer from the effects of nitrogen pollution?
