Abstract
For the purposes of the Study, Māmala Bay included all ocean areas from Diamond Head to Barbers Point, Oʻahu. The study area extended offshore of the Bay coastline and included all ocean waters and point sources of pollution that could directly impact the quality of the near-shore aquatic environment. In addition, the study area extended a sufficient distance inshore of the coastline to include significant non-point sources that could affect the quality of near-shore waters. These included sources within the Māmala Bay watershed such as the Ala Wai Canal. The limits of the study area and locations of different sampling sites are shown in the map.
