PACN Monitoring Fresh and Brackish Water Quality

Raikow D . PACN Monitoring Fresh and Brackish Water Quality. 2007. National Park Service

This project monitors long term status and trends of water resources in the Pacific Island Network (PACN). Water resources in the Pacific Island Network (PACN) support rich and diverse ecosystems and aquatic communities that include corals reefs, anchialine pools communities (endemic to Hawaii), and freshwater stream communities. Aquatic resource protection is required by all the governments of the PACN, and water quality is widely used as an indicator of aquatic resource condition by regulators and ecologists. This project should provide the parks with some of the summary information necessary to determine their compliance with the applicable water quality standards in addition to providing correlative environmental data to ecologists.
