The nearshore sensors are part of the Pacific Islands Ocean Observing System (PacIOOS) and are designed to measure a variety of ocean parameters at fixed points. nss_016 was located off Wailupe in Maunalua Bay in Aina Haina on the South Shore of Oahu in the State of Hawaii. The sensor package was fixed to a pier at about 1 meter depth. PacIOOS nearshore sensors monitor coastal water conditions to help provide early indications of potentially polluted run-off from storm drainage, sewage spills, and soil erosion from land-based waterways such as streams and other outflows that lead directly into the ocean.
