Surfrider Kauaʻi to host Community Science for Clean Coastal Water event

Join Surfrider Kauaʻi for a community water quality event focused on understanding harmful pollution affecting Kauaʻi’s coastal waters and how community-led efforts are turning data into solutions.

Community Science for Clean Coastal Water is scheduled for 5 to 7 p.m. Jan. 28 at Church of the Pacific in Princeville.

The evening will include a short informational presentation about Surfrider’s Blue Water Task Force followed by a community talk story and time to connect with partner organizations.

Representatives from Wastewater Alternatives and Innovation, Hanalei Initiative and Reef Guardians Hawaiʻi Nā Kiaʻi Āpapa will share how their on-the-ground work uses data to inform action and protect clean water.

Light refreshments will be provided.

Clean water is the foundation of community well-being. Pollution threatens public health and safe recreation, while also degrading reefs, fisheries and cultural practices that depend on healthy coastal ecosystems.

This is where the work of turning data into action becomes essential.

Addressing a problem this widespread requires coordinated efforts — combining community-based water quality monitoring, targeted advocacy and place-specific solutions that respond to local conditions.

Attend this special Surfrider Kauaʻi event to learn about what’s happening in your community and other ways you can get involved.

“We look forward to seeing you there,” said the organization in its invite.
