• Abstract:
  This primer provides a methodology to identify relevant living shorelines and green infrastructure strategies for protection of various types of tropical island coastal built environments, illustrated through three sites in Hawai‘i. The goal is to slow coastal erosion and reduce flooding so that coastal transportation ways can remain operational during the coming decades. The primer is intended to inform and aid decision-making by Hawai‘i’s government planners and policy makers, private landowners, developers, design teams (urban planners, architects, landscape architects, civil engineers, transportation engineers, etc.).
