| Description: |
High energy waves intensify the impacts of sea level rise and threaten coastal communities, requiring measures to prevent harmful consequences. Vulnerability assessments using NOAA's assessment guide were performed in a high wave environment, accounting for the impacts of sea level rise on coastal inundation, longshore transport, benthic habitat as well as on beach users and homeowners. This case study of the North Shore region of Oahu, Hawai'i' uses multi-criteria evaluation and cost-benefit analysis. [Source: Ocean & Coastal Management]
