In southwest Maui, sedimentation is a major threat to coral-reef health, but watershed management projects lack specific, measurable targets for eroded sediment reduction. To address this, researchers will work with local organizations and agencies to develop sediment stress thresholds specific to species and places, to inform both water-based restoration and land management efforts at Olowalu Reef.
