PacIOOS Nearshore Sensor 008: Koror, Palau

The nearshore sensors are part of the Pacific Islands Ocean Observing System (PacIOOS) and are designed to measure a variety of ocean parameters at fixed points. nss_008 was located at the dock of the Palau International Coral Reef Center (PICRC) in Koror in southern Palau. The sensor package was mounted to the sea floor at approximately 3.5 meters depth. PacIOOS nearshore sensors monitor coastal water conditions to help provide early indications of potentially polluted run-off from storm drainage, sewage spills, and soil erosion from land-based waterways such as streams and other outflows that lead directly into the ocean.
