Water quality monitoring  during COVID-19

5/11/2020

1 Comment

 
As of Monday, May 4, a small group of Hui O Ka Wai Ola staff members are monitoring coastal water quality at all 41 of our leeward Maui sample sites every three weeks. Sampling has been on hold since March 16 due to safety concerns during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, permission was recently granted from Maui County officials for our group to continue this essential work.
 
Working in teams of two, the Hui’s Project Manager and Team Leaders are following strict guidelines to maintain a six-foot distance from each other, wearing face masks and sanitizing while collecting and processing samples.
 
We are grateful to be monitoring at this unprecedented time when island activity is at an all-time low. We hope to learn if the decrease in visitors and changes in behavior may impact coastal water quality.
 
We plan to maintain this monitoring protocol for the next two months and hope to get our amazing volunteers back in the field as soon as it is safe to do so.

Thank you for following the strict guidelines for social distancing. I know that it may not be convenient to do, but it guarantees your safety. It is important to make sure that you are following the protocol to avoid the further spread of the coronavirus. Please always remind other people you see who are not practicing social distancing and are not wearing face masks. We have to work hard together in order for this pandemic to be over. I know that if we all cooperate, we will be able to move forward with a better future ahead of us.
