Located on Oahu's south shore near Honolulu, the observatory investigates nearshore coral reef dynamics, tracking waves, tides, and water quality. The University of Hawaii's SOEST manages it and collaborates with the ALOHA Cabled Observatory for data insights.

The Kilo Nalu Observatory (KNO), on the south shore of Oahu provides a window into the nearshore coral reef physical, biological and chemical environment.
Kilo Nalu, near Kakaako Waterfront Park, is managed by the University of Hawaii's Department of Ocean and Resources Engineering (ORE) within the School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology (SOEST).
KNO provides data and power connections to a suite of observational instruments that resolve waves, tides, currents and nearshore water quality.
KNO shares resources with the ALOHA Cabled Observatory (ACO), including data management.
