What is Sea Level Rise (SLR)?• SLR has been attributed to the melting of ice sheets and the thermal
expansion of warm seawater (Alley et al., 2005; Williams 2013).

• Predicted 1 ft. rise in global sea levels by mid century (2050) and 2.5-6.2 ft. rise by end of the century (2100).
• The rate of sea-level rise in Hawaii is approximately 1.5 mm/ year (Fletcher et al., 2012).

• Identify Special Management Areas (SMA): “Therefore, special controls on development within the area alongthe shoreline are necessary to avoid permanent loss of valuable resources and the foreclosure of management options, and to insure that adequate public access is provided to public-owned or used beaches, recreation areas, and natural reserves, by dedication or other means” (COH Planning Commission, Rule 9-2).

• Identify cultural/natural resources at risk.• Recreation areas.• Culturally significant areas.

Shoreline Hazards on Hawaiʻi Island

Subsidence: Sinking of the Earth’s surface in response to geologic or man-induced causes.

Erosion: Rates can range from 0.5-1 ft/yr (Fletcher et al., 2002)

Sea Level Rise: 1.5 in/decade for Hawaiʻi Island (Fletcher et al., 2002)

Methods• Gather and analyze:
– Elevation data– Shoreline Hazard data– Cultural/Natural resource data
• Create inundation polygons and identify impacted land parcels & cultural/natural resources.
• Hazard ratings: Moderately high & High risk

Further Implications of Study
• Addition of tidal data in our study.• Use up to date elevation data (when it gets released…).• Connectivity between groundwater and SLR.
