- North Shore beaches face significant erosion challenges, ranking among Hawaii’s most threatened coastal areas
- Sand dune restoration offers an eco-friendly approach to coastal protection compared to seawalls or other hard structures
- The project could help maintain beach access and recreational opportunities for both residents and visitors
- Natural dune systems provide habitat for native plants and wildlife while protecting inland properties
