  • A Final Report on the Initial Development of the Pacific Islands Ocean Observing System (Pacioos) Regional Coastal Ocean Observing System
    A Final Report on the Initial Development of the Pacific Islands Ocean Observing System (PacIOOS) Regional Coastal Ocean Observing System NOAA Cooperative Agreement #NA07NOS4730207 Submitted by Dr. Brian Taylor Dean and Principal Investigator School of Ocean and Earth Sciences and Technology University of Hawaii at Manoa Chris E. Ostrander Director Pacific Islands Ocean Observing System (PacIOOS) March 2012 BACKGROUND The distinctive beauty of the Pacific Islands reflects the unique setting of our land, ocean, tropical climate, and biological diversity. The Pacific Islands region covers a vast area of the globe—spanning six time zones across the Pacific Ocean; the region is bisected by the International Date Line, straddles all four hemispheres, is distributed over a surface area of nearly 35 million km2 and includes 2,500 km of coastlines and over 2,300 individual islands (Figure 1). The Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) of the Pacific Island jurisdictions covers an area larger than the other ten regions of U.S. IOOS combined and Hawaii alone constitutes nearly 1/5th of the total U.S. EEZ. The Pacific Islands are uniquely an ocean region; over 99% of the surface area is ocean. The vast majority of the land lies within 10 km of the shoreline and all the land in the region is within the coastal zone. Figure 1: Constituent members and spatial distributions of the sub-regions comprising the PacIOOS regional association. Each of the island constituents of the PacIOOS region is distinct in terms of their respective governments, languages, legal systems, geography, cultural norms, societal structure, economies, and infrastructural development needs.

  • Beach Erosion at Waimea Bay, Oahu, Hawaiil
    Pacific Science (1982), vol. 36, no. 1 © 1982 by the University of Hawaii Press. All rights reserved Beach Erosion at Waimea Bay, Oahu, Hawaii l J. F. CAMPBELL 2 and D. J. HWANG 2 ABSTRACT: Waimea Beach on the island of Oahu, Hawaii, is a popular recreation area, which is presently endangered by severe erosion. The extent of shoreline erosion has been determined from comparison of an 1884 survey map with aerial photographs from the period 1928-1975, and from measure­ ments of the changes in the vegetation line during that time. The Waimea section of Oahu's shoreline has receded about 200 ft in this 47-yr period. This erosion is caused primarily by storms that move the beach sand into deeper waters from which it cannot return to the beach and the lack of supply of new sand to the beach. Sand mining and abrasion also have contributed to the retreat of the shoreline. Continued periodic measurements and aerial surveys would be valuable in tracking the regression of the shoreline and useful for planning the future of public facilities located in Waimea Bay. PROBLEMS RELATED TO EROSION of a coastline luvium because ofchanges in sea level relative are often first noticed when people see that to the island, was once graded to a depth of man-made structures are in danger of being 215 ft below present sea level (Coulbourn, washed into the sea.

The Department of Land and Natural Resources (Department) appreciates the intent of this measure and offers the following for consideration. The Department notes that a common framework is preferable to advancing numerous smaller measures independently, which might result in significant inconsistencies, and thus a confusingly disparate web of local regulations along the State's coastlines. Such a framework is being proposed in Senate Bill 2871 which would create a Makai 0 Ke Kai program to promote community based marine stewardship in collaboration with the Department. The Department notes that while it supports the common framework approach, the Department nonetheless has concerns with the impacts any appropriation will have on the Executive Supplement Budget request.
