Cause: High surf

A Brown Water Advisory has been issued for the South facing shores of Maui.

High surf has resulted in coastal waters pushing into roadways and foliage above the high tide mark. The public is advised to stay out of the coastal waters due to possible pesticides, animal fecal matter, dead animals, pathogens, chemicals, and debris that might be in the water. Not all coastal areas may be impacted by the high surf, however, if the water is brown stay out. Continue to practice good personal hygiene and follow-up with your primary care physician if you have any health concerns.
