HONOLULU, Hawaii (HawaiiNewsNow) - A proposal to save almost a dozen properties from falling into the ocean in west Maui is getting pushback from the community.
Layers of sand bags are now helping to stabilize several structures along the coastline in Kahana.
The Kahana Draft Environmental Impact Statement says nine condominiums and one single-family parcel are at risk of crumbling into the ocean because of severe coastal erosion from sea level rise, storms and shoreline development.
