Hawaii SB2402 addresses emergency erosion by allowing temporary shoreline protection measures while preserving natural processes. It establishes a time-limited statutory framework for emergency permits, ensuring they are used only when necessary to address imminent erosion threats. The bill also minimizes private shoreline hardening, allowing only carefully conditioned measures where necessary. It aims to balance immediate erosion control with long-term preservation of natural shoreline processes and public coastal resources.
