Several MNA staff and volunteers spent one night at Nuʻalolo Kai on the north shore, to perform coral surveys as well as work with keiki attending a reef camp. Acoustic monitors were also placed in the water to provide indications of reef health via fish activity. Nuʻalolo Kai is a special place for many reasons both scientific and cultural. For this project, MNA worked closely with the Nā Pali Coast ʻOhana, Archipelago Research & Conservation (ARC), Kaua`i Sailing Association, and the Kaua‘i Division of Aquatic Resources (DAR). Because Nuʻalolo is very shallow, some of the surveys were done via snorkel rather than SCUBA.
