摘要

The restoration effort is centered on revegetating the island, reducing erosion, and limiting run-off onto adjacent reefs. Restoration efforts to mitigate sediment runoff to streams and gulches by restoring native vegetation and minimizing erosion have focused on two watersheds, Kaulana and Hakioawa, on the northeast and northwest sides of the island, respectively. Stream flow and sediment gages were installed by the U.S. Geological Survey Pacific Islands Water Science Center in each of the watersheds, and a weather station was established upland of the watersheds. For this study, turbidity monitors were installed on the insular shelf off the two watersheds to monitor the overall quality of reef waters and their changes in response to rain and stream flow discharge events. The objective of these deployments was to understand how turbidity varied temporally on the insular shelf adjacent to two stream drainages and to provide insight into the effectiveness of watershed restoration efforts at decreasing the amount of sediment delivered to the coral reef ecosystems. This study is the result from discussions and a signed agreement in 2005 between the KIRC and the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) to provide assistance in measuring turbidity in the islands coastal waters.
