Some Hawaii homeowners damage beaches to protect their homes A new law could help change that

Property owners selling homes, hotels, condos and businesses along Hawaii’s coastlines must disclose whether the properties are susceptible to damage from sea level rise under legislation that’s set to take effect next May. While the risks of building and maintaining property along the state’s shorelines have been evident for decades, state lawmakers passed the measure this year to make sure that prospective buyers are fully aware of those risks, which will only increase as the state’s coastlines are increasingly battered by flooding and stronger storms. “It’s looking at making sure that if people are buying our shoreline properties that they are well aware of what the drawbacks might be in the future,” said Sen. Gil Keith-Agaran, who introduced the bill, which will become law this month.

Coastal News Today | HI - Is new sand already disappearing from Waikiki Beach?

But some are wondering if the ocean is already reclaiming a lot of that sand. The state retrieved nearly 22,000 cubic yards of sand in shallow waters about a thousand feet offshore in order to double the width of the shoreline. But Kuhio Beach, already packed with tourists, almost looked the same as it did before the project. Part of the reason is very high seasonal tides. The preliminary tide at Honolulu Harbor on Friday afternoon came close to 2.9 feet. “It makes the beach look smaller, frankly, when you have these higher tides. It doesn’t mean that it is. It’s just a perception,” said Sam Lemmo, administrator of the DLNR Office of Conservation and Coastal Lands, which managed the beach maintenance project.
