Hawaii HB1846 establishes regional shoreline mitigation districts to collectively address coastal erosion.

Hawaii HB1846 creates a framework for regional shoreline mitigation districts, enabling property owners to collaboratively plan, design, fund, and implement erosion mitigation projects. The bill mandates the preparation of regional coastal erosion and sediment management plans by shoreline property owners, which must be reviewed and approved by the Office of Planning and Sustainable Development. These plans will guide the implementation of emergency erosion mitigation structures and long-term solutions.
