Serves as a guiding principle for the community visioning process for Waikiki Beach and includes development of several preliminary efforts:
A community-based beach management and maintenance plan
Economic study of the value of Waikīkī Beach
Stakeholder perception surveys of Waikiki Beach
Coastal and nearshore natural resource valuation model
Beach profile surveying and sediment budget
Beach Research video analysis
Nearshore beach sediment source assessment
and many other related endeavors.
These supporting efforts will be carried out in coordination with the project partners and stakeholders. Strategic outreach efforts and visioning process will help define the primary project priorities and strategies and create the framework for a comprehensive plan for Waikiki's future.
