Staff at the Kealia Pond National Wildlife Refuge on Maui have been monitoring the pink water since Oct. 30. The salinity inside the Kealia Pond outlet area is currently greater than 70 parts per thousand, which is twice the salinity of seawater. Curious visitors have flocked to the park after photos of the pink pond appeared on social media. But no, they’re here to see the pink water," Wolfe joked. As a wildlife refuge, people aren't supposed to wade into the pond or let their pets in the water regardless of its color.
