Description

Because the U.S. population continues to shift toward the coast where valuable coastal property is vulnerable to erosion, the USCG is conducting a national assessment of coastal change. One aspect of this effort, the NASC, uses shoreline position as a proxy for coastal change because shoreline position is one of the most commonly monitored indicators of environ. change. This study: (1) develops and implements improved methods of assessing and monitoring shoreline movement; and (2) improves current understanding of the processes controlling shoreline movement. This report summarizes historical shoreline changes on the 3 most densely populated islands of the 8 main Hawaiian Islands: Kauai, Oahu, and Maui. Illus. A print on demand report.
