Turtle Bay Resort Turtle Bay Resort Turtle Bay Resort Turtle Bay resort, located on Oahu’s fabled North Shore is a Wayfinding and Interpretive System unique luxury resort that has made a name for itself by doing the Oahu, HI impossible – weaving the atmosphere and amenities of a luxury Designers: Hawaiin Sign and Design resort experience into a beautiful and tranquil rural setting – and the result is magical. Offering epochal surf, still wild spaces, and welcoming locals who proudly call the rural area, “country,” Turtle Bay is of the reasons Hawaii remains one of the world’s most desirable destinations. Not long ago, Turtle Bay began a expansive, $45 million dollar renovation, including wayfinding signs that would help guide visitors to the many amenities and special areas of interest on the 250 acre resort. Hawaiian Signs and Designs, the designer on the project, was selected to design vibrant and eye-catching signage and resort maps that would showcase vibrant easy to read graphics and compliment the unparalleled beauty of the resort. Equally as important was the ability of the signs and graphics to withstand the sun, ocean winds and humidity of the North Shore environment. Mike Adams, the Project Manager at Hawaiian Signs and Desings, chose iZone Imagings durable high pressure laminate for its long term weather resistant capibilities. iZone Imaging’s CHPL is scratch and fade resistant, easy to maintain, and is perfect for high exposure areas like the salty coatal trails of Turtle Bay resort. And iZone Imaging’s ten year warranty ensures that these informative panels will be appreciated by many visitors and vacationers in the coming years. 2526 Charter Oak Drive, Suite 100, Temple, Texas 76502 • 888-464-9663 • izoneimaging.com.

An endangered coast Stretching five miles from Kawela Bay to Kahuku Point, the land surrounding the Turtle Bay Resort embraces one of the last undeveloped wild shorelines on O‘ahu. This rugged, windswept coast—much loved by the community—is regu- larly featured in popular movies and TV shows. It is home to endangered monk seals and green sea turtles, and whales breach just offshore in the crystal-clear ocean. Island residents and tourists alike flock here to get away from O‘ahu’s urban centers, to enjoy uncrowded beaches, surfing, fishing, and coastal hiking on the state’s most developed island. But the future of this rare coastline is endangered by development rights granted decades ago that have withstood multiple legal challenges.

  • Historical Shoreline Change and Cultural Sites, Kawela-Kahuku, O'ahu
    Historical Shoreline Change and Cultural Sites Kawela-Kahuku, O‘ahu A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE GLOBAL ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE UNDERGRADUATE DIVISION IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREEE OF BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN GLOBAL ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE MAY 2010 By Haunani H. Kane Thesis Advisor Charles H. Fletcher I certify that this thesis, in our opinion, is satisfactory in scope and quality as a thesis for the degree of Bachelor of Science in Global Environmental Science. Thesis Advisor _____ ______________________________ Charles H. Fletcher Department of Geology and Geophysics ii Acknowledgements Charles Fletcher provided support for me as an undergraduate researcher and advised my senior thesis. Brad Romine taught me how to map shorelines, calculate rates, and create my poster. Tiffany Anderson helped with understanding shoreline change rate models. Matt Barbee helped with mapping issues. Neil Frazer, and Ayesha Genz helped with matlab scripts. Jane Schoonmaker and the OCN 490 class provided their endless support and critiques. Finally, thanks to OHA and SHPD for the cultural data, especially Heidi Guth, Kai Markell, and Jason Jeremiah. iii Abstract Hawaii’s beaches are a focus of modern lifestyle as well as cultural tradition. Coastal erosion threatens areas that have served as burial grounds, home sites, and hold other forms of cultural significance. To improve understanding of the convergence of erosion patterns and historic uses, we mapped shoreline changes from Kawela Bay to Kahuku Point. Shoreline change rates are calculated from historical photographs using the single-transect (ST) and eigenbeaches (EX, EXT) methods to define the 50 and 100- year erosion hazard zones. To ensure that shoreline change rates reflect long-term trends, we include uncertainties due to short term shoreline position and other mapping errors.

  • Turtle Bay Resort Investing in Expansion
    Turtle Bay Resort investing in expansion By Allison Schaefers October 23, 2018 Updated October 22, 2018 11:10pm • DENNIS ODA / [email protected] The resort is Hawaii’s first and only independent hotel to have its own foundation dedicated to strengthening the local community. ADVERTISING Turtle Bay, which is owned by Blackstone and managed by Benchmark Resorts & Hotels, is gearing up for its plan to add about 750 units — a lengthy build-out that will cost hundreds of millions of dollars and increase the workforce to 1,100 from 650. It’s also expanded its push to invest in the surrounding community through the Turtle Bay Foundation, which was created in 2012 with the intent to give tourism proceeds back to the community, a step that has helped to maintain the property’s hard-won peace. Turtle Bay’s former owners received approval in 1986 to build 3,500 additional units, including five new hotel sites, but community resistance stopped the development from moving forward. A smaller plan, first agreed to during Gov. Neil Abercrombie’s administration, is now moving forward. That agreement was finalized in 2015 when the state Board of Land and Natural Resources agreed to spend $45 million to pay Turtle Bay Resort for some of its development rights. The deal preserved nearly 79 percent of open lands owned by Turtle Bay Resort, roughly 665 acres of undeveloped property from Kawela Bay to Kahuku Point, including four miles of coastline and eight miles of trails. But it allowed Turtle Bay to retain about 150 acres fronting the ocean on either side of the resort’s existing hotel for development of two additional hotels with a combined 625 rooms and 100 homes.
