Ala Wai Sensor Maintenance with Stanley

Stanley Lio services equipment that relays water quality data real time to UH researchers. The Ala Wai Yacht Club station monitors chlorophyll-a, fine dissolved organic matter (FDOM), and turbidity “near real-time,” sampling every 12 minutes.

Building Sensors!

Such a great day!

MAHALO

This project could not have been made possible without the many hands that have worked together, both in classrooms and while in the field. We have much appreciation to Vice Chancellor for Research at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa, for graciously funding our research through the Strategic Investment Initiative.
