When heavy rains hit Maui, gulches around the island become channels for pollution to enter nearby ocean water. Testing areas where runoff meets the ocean helps identify parts of the island that need our help the most.

🌊The ocean gives us life, from the air we breathe to the food we eat. On this #WorldOceanDay, we're celebrating the endless wonder it brings to our lives while remembering that it is up to us to protect it today, tomorrow, and for generations to come 🐟.

Happy Kamehameha Day from Maui! Keeping our oceans healthy for our community to spend days like this on the beach is one of the reasons we do what we do 🤙🏼🌊

Results from limu testing in North and South Maui are in! John, our Science Director recorded a 5min breakdown of what we are seeing in the data from the 2 sides of the island. loom.com/share/18003a44…

Happy Aloha Friday! Throwing it back to our shore dive off of Palauea Beach a few weeks ago. After our boat broke down 5min into the day, our team pivoted to a shore dive and was met with a beautiful reef full of life.

Just In: Our Science Director, John Starmer, spoke with Maddie Bender of Hawaii Public Radio to discuss how studying limu provides critical information that helps scientists understand how land-based activity is impacting coastal water around Maui. hawaiipublicradio.org/the-conversati…

Our team of volunteers are out in West Maui today doing our final limu sampling of the year. Limu will be tested for Nitrogen, an indicator of pollution in coastal waters 🌊 🤙🏼

Oftentimes, you’ll see limu on exposed rocks along the shoreline but at our Kahana site, the limu was mostly found underwater. 💧 🌱
