Kaua’i Beach Monitoring
The Kaua'i Chapter has been asking the State of Hawaii to monitor more beaches and post warning signs at beaches contaminated with bacterial pollution for years now. State sampling has increased on Kaua'i. One permanent advisory sign has been posted, but there remain other chronically polluted beaches that are not posted. The Chapter's Blue Water Task Force program is currently sampling 20 beaches monthly, providing their own source of water quality information to the public. During the summer of 2011 the Chapter began working cooperatively with the State Department of Health to perform source tracking experiments in the Nawiliwili watershed.
