Hui O Ka Wai Ola

What We Do

Hui O Ka Wai Ola (Association Of The Living Waters) is a group of citizen scientists dedicated to measuring and sharing the status of Maui Nui’s coastal ocean water quality. We collect and test coastal water samples at the same beach sites once every three weeks. Our team shares this data with the Maui Nui Marine Resource Council, West Maui Ridge to Reef Initiative, The Nature Conservancy, Hawai’i Department of Health Clean Water Branch, Environmental Protection Agency, and others to help make positive changes for our waters. We also make our data available to the public on our website, PACIOOS, Aqualink, and Zenodo.

Who We Are

Hui O Ka Wai Ola is a coalition comprised of community member volunteers, scientists, supporters, and partner groups. We recognize the value of a clean ocean for all of Hawai’i’s residents, visitors, and natural resources. Our mission is to deepen the understanding of Maui Nui’s ocean water quality through science and advocacy to accelerate positive change. Through our work, Hui O Ka Wai Ola offers Maui Nui a more comprehensive and timely understanding of its water quality, and thus, its quality of life.
