Description:

West Maui, HI has been plagued with reports of poor water quality in the nearshore coastal zone, fecal indicators exceeding EPA standards, and algal blooms for over 20 years with a corresponding steady decline in coral covery from 70% (1990s) to 27% (2006). This final report provides baseline data related to bacterial water quality in wet and dry seasons and toxicity bioassay data at multiple locations along the Maui coastline from sediment and water sampled in 2012 and 2013. These data will help clarify the role of wastewater injection wells may play in coral decline and assist in best management practices for monitoring efforts. This information can help strategically focus costly management efforts on the greatest risk factors for mitigation and restoration of these vulnerable marine resources.
