Heeia Stream Water Quality Monitoring

Site 5: Heeia Wetlands

Our fifth sampling site is in Heeia Wetlands. It is an open, marshy, wetland area that is home to the endangered ‘Alae ‘ula (Hawaiian Moorhen, Gallinula chloropus sandvicensis) and the ‘Auku‘u (Black-crowned night heron, Nycticorax nycticoras).

At this site we measured a low concentration of dissolved oxygen, a slightly acidic pH and high levels of Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD).
