Congratulations to Leah Bremer and colleagues who published “Managing for Diverse Coastal Uses and Values Under Sea Level Rise: Perspectives from Oʻahu, Hawaiʻi” in Ocean and Coastal Management (Volume 225, 15 June 2022, 106151).
Effective and equitable coastal decision-making under sea level rise requires managing for multiple coastal uses and values. A new publication led by the Water Resources Research Center, UHERO, and the Institute of Sustainability and Resilience analyzes how decision-makers in Hawaiʻi perceive diverse uses and values of beaches and coastlines to be important and how they see recognition of these uses and values ideally shaping SLR response.
Graphic illustrates perceptions of what is currently considered important (blue) versus what interviewees perceive should be ideally prioritized in decision-making (orange) in (a) Sunset Beach, (b) Kaʻaʻawa, and (c) Kāhala.
