Kaohao Public Charter School students use a YSI multi-parameter meter to measure and record water quality data in Kailua, Hawaii, in March 2018. This was part of the Watershed Investigations, Research, Education, and Design (WIRED) project, run by the Pacific American Foundation and funded through a NOAA B-WET grant. The students will use the data they collect through the program to answer their own research questions and then share their results with the Hawaii State Department of Land and Natural Resources as part of Kailua Bay and Kaiwainui Marsh monitoring.
