Purpose | (a) To define properties of ocean circulation in Mamala Bay, including the effects on circulation of Trade and Kona winds and any other factors that determine the magnitudes and currents and transported contaminants that may adversely affect public health and the Bay's aquatic ecosystem, (b) To characterize sewage plumes from the City's outfalls, including the extent of rise due to buoyancy, degree of dilution achieved, and frequency of plume surfacing, (c) To quantify point and non-point sources of pollution and their relative impacts in terms of loading, frequency in extreme events and proximity to sensitive areas of exposure to humans and aquatic ecosystems, (d) To characterize the fates of indicator organisms and pathogens originating from point and non-point sources and to determine the detectability and survivability of these organisms in the marine environment, (e) To assess the risks to public health from exposure to waters contaminated by point and non-point sources of pollution to Mamala Bay, (f) To identify and quantify the effects on ecosystems of point and non-point sources of pollution of Mamala Bay, and (g) To identify and evaluate practical and implementable alternatives for the control of pollution of Mamala Bay. |
