This nearshore sensor (nss_015) is located in Pago Bay near the mouth of the Pago River on the eastern shore of Guam. The sensor package is mounted to the sea floor at approximately 1.5 meters depth. It was re-located 77 feet (23 meters) south on February 16, 2019 in order to minimize burial of the sensor by silt. Data are transmitted every 4 minutes. PacIOOS nearshore sensors monitor coastal water conditions to help provide early indications of potentially polluted run-off from storm drainage, sewage spills, and soil erosion from land-based waterways such as streams and other outflows that lead directly into the ocean. Owned and maintained by PacIOOS under the supervision of Dr. Margaret McManus and lab. The University of Guam is a key partner.
