WAIKIKI BEACH IMPROVEMENTS EIS
WAIKIKI BEACH IMPROVEMENTS:
The state office on conservation will be holding a virtual scoping meeting on the environmental impact statement (EIS) for the Waikiki Beach Improvement and Maintenance Program to save the loss of beaches due to sea level rise, provide safe access to and along the shoreline, and increase resilience to coastal hazards and sea level rise. The state wants to improve the Fort DeRussy, Halekulani, Royal Hawaiian, and Kuhio Beach shores. Projects would include building new beach stabilization structures, and recovering offshore sand and putting it back on the shoreline.
