Abstract:

The nearshore sensors are part of the Pacific Islands Ocean Observing System (PacIOOS) and are designed to measure a variety of ocean parameters at fixed point locations. The PacIOOS Water Quality Sensor Partnership Program (WQSPP) supports scientists and natural resource managers to collect water quality data in order to inform research, conservation, planning, and resource management projects in the U.S. Insular Pacific region. Comprised of a network of "roving" water quality nearshore sensors, the WQSPP provides participating partners with sensors, data management, and technical capacity-building to allow for robust data collection. nss_wqspp_006 was located at Ngaremlengui dock along the Chometubet River in the village of Ngermetengel on the west coast of the island of Babeldoab in the Republic of Palau. The sensor package was originally mounted to the dock at approximately 1 meter depth but was later redeployed at approximately 2 meters depth on October 8, 2020. Data were recorded every 8 or 10 minutes. The Forest and Watershed Restoration Program of the Ebiil Society of Palau replanted vegetative cover in an upland development area above the dock and adjacent river. As part of the WQSPP, the Ebiil Society deployed this PacIOOS nearshore water quality sensor to monitor sediment run-off in the downstream and reef area and thereby assess the success of the revegetation efforts.

Purpose:

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.

Credit:

The Pacific Islands Ocean Observing System (PacIOOS) is funded through the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) as a Regional Association within the U.S. Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS). PacIOOS is coordinated by the University of Hawaii School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology (SOEST).
