WHEN YOUR LIVESTOCK’S OUT STANDING IN THE GUT, THEY’RE NOT JUST COOLING OFF. When animal waste falls into guts and ponds it can wash into the sea or seep into groundwater. Imagine how many cows, goats, sheep and pigs are on our is- lands and you can see how much animal waste can pol- lute our beaches and aquifers. You can help solve this problem – keep your animals fenced out of guts and ponds and provide them with extra water and shade. For information on how you can prevent water pollution, call the UVI Cooperative Extension Service at 693-1080, St. Thomas - St. John or 692-4080, St. Croix, or the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service at 692-9662. Sponsored by the UVI Cooperative Extension Service and the V.I. Nonpoint Source Pollution Committee, funded by a Nonpoint Source Pollution Management grant from the V.I. Department of Planning and Natural Resources.
