Olowalu reef off Maui reveals two centuries of environmental change
Original: Olowalu reef off Maui provides window into two centuries of environmental changes
Researchers say the coral reef at Olowalu, off Maui in Hawaii, preserves a record of environmental changes stretching back roughly two hundred years. The University of Hawaii work suggests the reef can show how land use, runoff and climate pressures have affected coastal ecosystems over time. The findings highlight Olowalu's importance as one of the islands' most significant reef systems and a baseline for conservation efforts.
Why now: A new University of Hawaii study on the reef's long environmental record has drawn attention to conservation of Maui's coastline.
