Description:

"On March 16, 2010, the County of Maui provided funding to conduct research to investigate and identify point and non-point pollution and nutrient sources that may have led to drastic declines in coral heath and complexity of the benthic community and, subsequently, promoted excessive algal growth in Ma'alaea Bay. A second objective of the work was to provide information that could be utilized for developing planning tools to better protect coral reefs throughout the State of Hawaii through investigation, interpretation and publication of the causes and effects of the decline in Ma'alaea Bay's healthy and complex reef habitat"--Executive summary.
