Hawaiian Islands Sentinel Site Cooperative: West Hawaii Focus Area

The Hawaiian Islands Sentinel Site Cooperative (SSC) is one of five areas across the country that make up NOAA's Sentinel Site Program. This program brings together a network of people from across different levels of government, community involvement, NGOs and other stakeholders, expertise, and existing NOAA tools and services within specific geographic regions to tackle problems faced by coastal communities. The initial focus areas for the Hawaiian Islands SSC are to restore damaged wetlands by monitoring rainfall, stream flow, and salt water intrusion; balance human needs with ecosystem health; and to find solutions to local problems related to coastal inundation and sea level change.

This layer outlines the SSC project boundary for a portion of the west coast of Hawaii Island (Big Island).
