PacIOOS Nearshore Sensor Clean Water Branch 001: Waialae, Oahu, Hawaii

The nearshore sensors are part of the Pacific Islands Ocean Observing System (PacIOOS) and are designed to measure a variety of ocean parameters at fixed points. nss_cwb_001 was located 0.85 mi (1.4 km) offshore of Waialae Beach Park in Maunalua Bay on the South Shore of Oahu in the State of Hawaii for the Department of Health (DOH) Clean Water Branch (CWB). Originally mounted on an inline mooring at about 6 meters depth, the sensor package was later moved to about 9 meters depth on August 27, 2019. PacIOOS nearshore sensors monitor coastal water conditions to help provide early indications of potentially polluted run-off from storm drainage, sewage spills, and soil erosion from land-based waterways such as streams and other outflows that lead directly into the ocean.
