Zusammenfassung:Restoring and Rebuilding Waikiki Beach In 2011, UH Sea Grant partnered with the State of Hawai'i Department of Land and Natural Resources and others to conduct a large-scale beach replenishment project on Waikiki Beach. The $2.3 million project provided the opportunity to test various methods for beach maintenance and nourishment, and at its conclusion in 2012, 27,000 cubic yards of sand had been added to Waikiki Beach. Due to the overall success of the project, local stakeholders requested that UH Sea Grant lead the development of a Comprehensive Beach Management Plan for Waikiki to prioritize, guide, and coordinate beach management projects in the coming decades.
