Description:

Abstract:: This vegetation line represents the trend of annually stable significant vegetation on beach faces in Hawaii for the islands of Kauai, Maui, and Oahu as identified using digital 0.5-m orthorectified aerial photography dating from 2005-2008. This is a proxy for where state agencies measure their construction setback from and thereby represents current coastal conditions. Data produced in 2012 by the Coastal Geology Group (CGG) of Dr. Charles "Chip" Fletcher at the department of Geology & Geophysics (G&G) in the School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology (SOEST) of the University of Hawaii at Manoa. Data compiled by the Pacific Islands Ocean Observing System (PacIOOS) for the Hawaii Sea Level Rise Viewer hosted at <http://pacioos.org/shoreline/slr-hawaii/>. Not to be used without permission.

Purpose:: SLR Vegetation Line - 2005 - 2008: This vegetation line represents the trend of annually stable significant vegetation on beach faces in Hawaii for the islands of Kauai, Maui, and Oahu as identified using digital 0.5-m orthorectified aerial photography dating from 2005-2008.

Use_Constraints:

Use Limitation: Based on the methodology of sea level rise modeling used in the Hawaii Sea Level Rise Vulnerability and Adaptation Report (Report) and the Hawaii Sea Level Rise Viewer (Viewer), having gone through peer review and publication in the Nature Journal Scientific Reports, the results of this study are sufficiently validated to be appropriately used in land management decisions as the best available information as of the date of publication of the Report, December 2017, consistent with the intent of Act 83 SLH 2014 as amended. This Report is intended to provide a state-wide assessment of Hawaii's vulnerability to sea level rise. The location of projected impacts and economic costs from damages are estimates based on a particular sea level rise scenario. The hazard and vulnerability data and maps provided herein are based on observational data and computer-based models as described in the Report and in published research (Anderson et al., 2018). As with all models, it is important to understand the methods, assumptions, limitations, and uncertainties of the methods used. The risks associated with use or non-use of the results are assumed by the user.
