Abstract:
The Monitoring Section of the State of Hawaii, Department of Health,
Clean Water Branch collected water quality data at 8 sites centered
on Hanalei Bay on the north shore of Kauai using well-established
instruments and methodologies October 2005 - November 2006.
Purpose:
The Clean Water Branch (CWB) protects the public health of residents and
tourists who enjoy recreating in and around Hawaii's coastal and inland water
resources. The CWB also protects and restores inland and coastal waters for
marine life and wildlife. This is accomplished through statewide coastal water
surveillance and watershed-based environmental management through a
combination of permit issuance, monitoring, enforcement, sponsorship of
polluted runoff control projects, and public education.
