Summary
In this project, we assessed the potential for twelve coastal wetland sites on the island of Molokaʻi, Hawaiʻi, to provide socio-cultural resources and habitat for flora and fauna following restoration. In April 2022, a rapid field assessment of hydrology, soils, and vegetation was carried out at each of the wetland sites. In this data release, all the soils data collected during the rapid field assessment are provided.

Purpose
The soil data provided here were collected in order to inform a prioritization protocol for ranking wetlands on Molokaʻi for restoration. Soil samples were collected at each of the sites at three different depth ranges (0-2, 24-26, and 48-50 cm). Samples from 24-26 cm and 48-50 cm were analyzed for % organic carbon and soil texture. These two measures provide a basic understanding of the status of coastal wetland soils on the island.
