Flushed is a podcast from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill’s Outer Banks Field Site about how population growth and environmental change are affecting how coastal communities and their residents deal with wastewater and its effect on local waters. The culmination of a semester-long research project, this series explores how septic systems threaten coastal lifestyles, how people understand and react to those risks, and how coastal communities can be more resilient in the face of rising threats.
