Samples were collected in 100 mL sterile disposable bottles and transported (in ice cooler) to the Water Quality Laboratory at WCC Campus. Salinity measurements were taken using a Leica Refractometer. Enterococci most probable number (MPN) analysis was done using EPA approved IDEXX Enterolert method. Enterolert uses 4-methylumbelliferyl-Β-D-glucoside as the nutrient-indicator. This compound, when metabolized by enterococci present in the water sample, releases 4-methylumbelliferone, which exhibits blue fluorescence under the long-wavelength ultraviolet lamp. EPA standards for the yearly geometric mean (geomean) values for enterococci concentrations are set at 35 enterococci bacteria/100mL in marine waters. (51 FR 8012, March 7, 1986) The State of Hawaii, which has the most stringent standard of all the states, has set 7 enterococci/100mL. (Department of Health 1990).
