Waikīkī (Sea Level Rise) Resilience and Adaptation Project (WRAP)
The Waikīkī (Sea Level Rise) Resilience and Adaptation Project (WRAP) was initiated by Senator Sharon Moriwaki and is funded by the Legislature. In Phase 1 (2023-2024), The Office of Planning and Sustainable Development (OPSD) contracted with the University of Hawaiʻi School of Architecture’s Community Design Center (UH-CDC) which partnered with UH Sea Grant College to create opportunities for Waikīkī residents to discuss adaptations to sea level rise that would protect their community through decades of climate change. Waikīkī residents expressed support for a phased adaptive approach to protecting Waikīkī from beach erosion and “sunny day” flooding.
