South shores under brown water advisory

A brown water advisory has been issued for south-facing shores of Maui, the state Department of Health announced Friday.

High surf combined with very high tides has resulted in coastal waters reaching into foliage and other areas above the normal high-water mark, including roadways.

The department advised the public to stay out of brown coastal waters due to possible runoff containing chemicals, pathogens and debris.
