    • PacIOOS Water Quality Buoy 04: Hilo Bay, Big Island, Hawaii

    Metadata Updated: August 27, 2024

    The water quality buoys are part of the Pacific Islands Ocean Observing System (PacIOOS) and are designed to measure a variety of ocean parameters at fixed points. wqb_04 is located in Hilo Bay on the east side of the Big Island. Continuous sampling of this area provides a record of baseline conditions of the chemical and biological environment for comparison when there are pollution events such as storm runoff or a sewage spill.
