This Resolution requests the City and County of Honolulu to lead community education workshops to inform the public about the recommendations made by the North Shore Coastal Resilience Working Group, a collaborative effort involving various stakeholders focused on addressing coastal hazards like erosion and sea level rise on Oahu's North Shore. The city is also asked to actively seek input from a wide range of individuals and organizations, including North Shore residents, Native Hawaiian descendants, community groups, and cultural practitioners, to help create a comprehensive coastal resilience plan that is driven by the community and respects the ocean's power. This initiative aims to develop long-term strategies that go beyond short-term fixes and incorporate Hawaiian knowledge and culture, potentially serving as a model for other coastal areas in Hawaii facing similar challenges due to climate change.
