HI HCR174

Urges the City and County of Honolulu to repair and maintain damaged beach access points at Sunset Beach on Oahu's North Shore.

Notes that coastal erosion has affected 70 percent of Hawaii's beaches, with over 13 miles of beach completely lost to erosion over the past century.

Identifies a hazardous condition at Sunset Beach's public access path where caution tape was placed but subsequently removed by beachgoers.

Emphasizes beaches are vital to Hawaii's $14.4 billion visitor economy, cultural practices, subsistence activities, and coastal protection from storms and flooding.

Requires certified copies be transmitted to the Board of Land and Natural Resources, Mayor of Honolulu, Department of Parks and Recreation, and City Council District 2 Councilmember.
