      <abstract>Spatial measurements of water temperature, specific conductance, salinity, pH, dissolved oxygen, and turbidity between 0.25 and 0.50 m water depth were collected every 10-seconds along and across shore at 12 principal study areas along west and east Hawaii Island. Measurements were made between 2010 and 2013 during different seasons and tide states over the course of 1.0 to 2.5 hours to evaluate the spatial and temporal extent of water properties that influence coral reef health and coral reef habitat availability.</abstract>
      <purpose>Continuous quantitative data from a range of depths and distances from shore were collected to characterize the temporal and spatial variability in water temperatures that influence coral reef habitats, coral health and the vulnerability of coral to bleaching. These data also establish important baseline information with which to track and identify changes owing to climate and land use change, including changes in runoff of terrestrial water and contaminants that can affect the quality of habitat for corals, fish and other wildlife of concern. Along the arid west coast of Hawaii Island terrestrial inputs of water occur primarily in the form of groundwater and this study focused on examining the extent that groundwater inputs to the coast influences coral reef water temperatures, coral health, and potential cold water refugia where corals may find resilience in light of observed increases in global coral bleaching associated with rising sea surface temperatures.</purpose>
