wqb_05 Steven L. Colbert 20180310 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_05 is located in Pelekane Bay near Kawaihae Harbor on the west 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. PacIOOS provides timely, reliable, and accurate ocean information to support a safe, clean, productive ocean and resilient coastal zone in the U.S. Pacific Islands region. 20180310T02:00:00Z 20250722T21:00:00Z Unknown -155.8285 -155.8285 20.02415 20.02415 1.0 1.0 Unknown http://pacioos.org/metadata/browse/wqb_05.png Sample image.
