New Water Quality Heroes for South Maui

The newest group of Hui O Ka Wai Ola water quality volunteers is ready to start monitoring in South  Maui.  This month, 23 new volunteers completed the 12 hour training in the State Department of Health approved technique and protocols for water quality monitoring. Of the new volunteers, 17 will launch the  monitoring program in South Maui, and 6 will join the existing West Maui team.  The expansion to South Maui follows the successful completion of the monitoring program's first year in West Maui, with over 476 samples collected to date.  The South Maui group plans to begin collecting samples in September. ​ Below are some of the things new volunteers had to say when asked if they liked the recent training:
