Description:

The ecosystem of Kaneohe Bay is subjected to two stress gradients. One, a natural phenomenon, is the gradient from northeast to southwest, from the open sea to the sheltered lagoon. The second, a man-made phenomenon, is the gradient from northwest to southeast, from essentially pure ocean water to nutrient-enriched and sediment-laden water near the center of population of the watershed. The effects of both gradients are displayed clearly in the Atlas on many of the maps that show distribution of the biota of the Bay.
