Special Management Area Boundaries and Guidelines Under the Shoreline Protection Act

Abstract

Act 176 (1975) calls for the establishment of a "Special Management Area" for shoreline protection, and for the institution of special controls on development in that area. This report on Special Management Area boundaries and development control guidelines has been prepared at the request of the City and County of Honolulu and for the information of the other counties as well. The report reflects, at least in part, the opinions of a considerable number of people who reviewed an early draft, widely distributed, including several members of the University community who were involved in the preparation of the draft and final report.
