Figure 3

Pathogen delivery to the ocean under varied coastal development and precipitation conditions.

(a) Toxoplasma gondii oocyst delivery was simulated for 5 indicator watersheds (highlighted in blue and numbered from north to south). The map was created using ArcGIS software version 10.2 (ESRI; http://www.esri.com/software/arcgis/arcgis-for-desktop). (b) Mean oocyst delivery by watershed for 100 iterations of 4 development and precipitation scenarios. Error bars show 95% confidence intervals. Scenarios evaluated included 1) baseline development (1990 households/land use) with low precipitation (grey); 2) increased coastal development (2010 households/land use) with low precipitation (red); 3) baseline development with high precipitation (blue); and 4) increased development and high precipitation (purple).
