Listening to this "expert" makes me glad I didn't go to college. I believe that the sea level rises 3 millimeters per year waves are waves they wash beaches away 99% of the time.
In 1967 our governor signed into law a bill that guarantees the beaches along the entire coastline of our state are public property from the water line to the vegetation line
Yeah, it’s convenient how people forget that natural erosion is occurring. 😂 it’s a sand beach that erodes more every year without upkeep. Chicago has to add sand every year or LSD would be in the lake. Good thing they weren’t around when the Grand Canyon was formed. Oh lawdy how they’d have freaked 😊
These are not “homes” they are cabins and investment properties for the wealthy. Probably tax deductible assets as well, because they a “business” meeting there once every few years.
Beaches and coastal land aren’t just for the public, it’s really for the wildlife. People don’t have to live on the beach, but for many species it’s required for their survival. Building on beaches should have never been allowed and it shouldn’t be allowed further.
He said because of sea level rise, I have been launching my boat at the same boat ramp in Florida for 60 years. The water level is exactly the same as 60 years ago! I can clearly see the water line on the cement. Water is self leveling, if it is rising in one place it is rising everywhere! If it's rising in Hawaii, it will also rise in Florida, south America, the Pacific, and Mediterranean! Maybe the land is sinking? Like many places in Florida, it's sinking not sea level rise! I welcome comments.
The idea of an island sinking is scientifically impossible due to the fundamental principles of geology. An island, like any other landform, is subject to the forces of erosion and weathering, which can cause it to change in shape and size over time. However, these processes do not cause the island to sink, but rather they shape and sculpt the landform.

My neighbor illegally constructed upon the beach far beyond his property. It changed forever the health of the shoreline even after the county made him remove it. He’s still mad about it even though he was acting criminally and had collusion inside county
This erosion is not due to sea level rise near as much as it is the result of people building homes in places where such structures have no business being placed.
i am sure there is natural rock from around the area that could be used to build break waters to deter some of the wave action that is eroding the beaches
They had no business building so close to the water in the first place. Now the water wants to take the homes….let it go, the ocean is mighty powerful nothing g can stop it
The reason there is beach erosion is because someone built a wall or yeti that change the current of the water. It has happened in the island where I from. A beach wall was built and the beach a few miles down the coast was washed away. Quit messing up or building on the shore line. A wall there is going to ruin another beach.

Oahu has supposedly lost more than sixty percent of its beaches and the outer islands are slowly but systematically destroying their beaches as well. This has nothing to do with global warming it is for the most part due to building seawall’s, jetties and revetments along and in the ocean.
Always found it fascinating that in the “land of the free” private ownership of beaches is possible when in every other developed nation the waterfront is public land and right of access to s beach has to be provided.
In most US states, the area below the high tide line is considered public property, governed by the Public Trust Doctrine. The principle holds that some resources, including beaches, in trust for public use, belong to all and cannot be privately owned. A few excepts are Massachusetts and Maine where private citizens can own land all the way to the low-tide line, allowing them to exclude the public from the intertidal zone.
@@NotExpatJoe So a private individual in the US can the own land right up to the high tide line and that means they own all the beach stretching from the high tide line inland to where the sand ends (eg a dune or rocks). It’s this area that I’m talking about. Outside the US the whole beach up to a designated line is public space plus landowners must provide a corridor of access from a public road to the beach.
Just let homeowners spend more of their money to try and stop Mother Nature. If they want to waste money then so be it. Just as long as they don’t pollute the water and take full responsibility and legal action if any of their actions and materials do end up in the ocean. Enjoy that backyard while you can.
Was that Kaanapali? The shots of the resort with the eroded beach? If so, jeez, it's really getting bad. I had no idea sea level rise was that far along.
If you just make up numbers then what’s the point? It’s easily accessible information. Go educate yourself. The oceans are rising. So much so that it has slowed the planet down ever so slightly but enough that we can measure. If you don’t understand the mechanism behind that then that’s another thing to easily go educate yourself on.
Compromise with who? For what? Those people wanted to build their mansions patron the sand & water. Not our problem. Compensation? You kidding me right? They built, they figure out with their monies. Leave our state $$’s alone. Ain’t for that kinda stuff. Use your own $$’s
Desert sand might be made of the same stuff but, it is quite a bit different structurally than beach sand. Beach sand is fairly coarse like table salt, while desert sand is smooth and kind of powdery. Desert sand cannot be used to make concrete, and it can't be used to effectively rebuild a beach. It will wash away fairly quickly.
Single family homes right on the beach is the problem. Nice as they are, multi-floor, multi-family units (eg, apartments) are a more responsible long term solution where a whole bunch of people can enjoy living on the beach and take up only a fraction of the ground space. You'll also get sewers instead of septic tanks and that'll solve another problem too.
I took geology 101 in college. The professor explained erosion, flooding, landslides, et. all. Seemed pretty simple to me. Don’t build homes in those areas
So wait, you are saying the water table is rising and so we need to protect beach access? Wouldn’t the beach be under water then? There is infinite access to those beaches for fishing all along that section. This is garbage reporting.
no, opposite... the land is sinking ... Hawaii is diff from the rest of the World... in Hawaii the land sinks 4X faster than the ocean rises..... thus why Kure island is just a huge atoll now and was huge island larger than the Big Island only 33mill yrs ago... try google the words 'Maui Nui' and hit images to see how large Maui used to be...iow Maui Nui was 7X larger than today Maui... aroha
Yeah, it seems the 'experts' of today use the 'sea-level rise' crutch to explain all. The sea walls are part of the problem. With naturally breaking waves, sand is transported and deposited along the beach in one direction or the other. When the sea wall is introduced, the waves crash against it, creating turbulence which erodes the sand. I posted an excerpt from a study in my comment just a bit ago that explains the real reason for this beach disappearing.
Mother earth put the islands there and mother earth will take them away you can throw as many trillions you want nothing will stop that from happening.
none....in Hawaii its different than the entire World... in Hawaii the land sinks 4X faster than the ocean rises..... thus why Kure island is just a huge atoll now and was huge island larger than the Big Island only 33mill yrs ago... try google the words 'Maui Nui' and hit images to see how large Maui used to be...iow Maui Nui was 7X larger than today Maui... aroha
@bradbutcher3984 wrong. How do yall not know this. Did yall not go to school? Sea levels rise and fall and currently we are in a rapid rising period. Jesus christ Americans are so uneducated
I think it is that fuzzy math, no one seems to understand the beach is gone, when it takes out the road they will complain that they don't have access to it? It is the evil ex-land owners' fault. See a video about a pier that doesn't reach the water anymore because they moved in way too much sand, I'd like to see how they did that, must be very expensive, and temporary.
I'm of two minds about this. On one hand, preventing erosion is a good thing. It preserves the habitat for everybody and it's not that big a beach. It's not like the owners are walling off the entire North Shore. OTOH, the legal principle of public beach access is a hard fought one and one that requires a lot of effort to maintain. I can legitimately see both sides to this.

@@tamehamehaprints3604 Thanks to satellite and tide gauge data, we know that sea level is rising about 3.3 millimeters (0.13 inches) a year. Earth is currently in an ice age called the Quaternary Ice Age which began around 2.5 million years ago and is still going on. We are currently in an interglacial stage of this ice age. The periods within ice ages are defined as: Glacial- A glacial period is a cold period when the glaciers are expanding. Alaska was once a rainforest millions of years ago. Fossils found in Alaska indicate that the state had a warm, wet climate during the Cretaceous period, which lasted from 570 to 500 million years ago through the Devonian period, which lasted from 408 to 360 million years ago. So as you see when alaska melts all the ice turns into water.. Its not human made, Its nature..
the land in Western Washington coastline is rising ... really? yup ... the high tide line 150 years ago was inland about a 1/4 mile ... go figure ... 😂🤙 go surf
Tides are not affected by climate change. They are caused by the gravitational forces exerted on the earth by the moon, and to a lesser extent, the sun.
Sea level rise? What are they talking about, according to N.O.A.A.'s own data sea levels haven't risen more than 2 inches in that area since they started keeping records there.
Not maintaining beaches properly is a nightmare. Cutting down mangroves which hold the sand results in erosion. Changing mother nature to have a picturesque home should be a crime.
The oceans are not rising. It’s called natural erosion after time. You think seriously that icebergs are melting, which is raising the ocean level is belligerent and ridiculous.
You can't fight mother nature. And you don't "lose" beaches. They just move inland. If that threatens your property, sorry. That's the way the cookie crumbles.
I’m surprised they’re not sounding off over the 870 acres that Oprah just recently bought. She takes a pounding from the public over how she handled the Maui fire situation and then buys 870 more acres. Shows she doesn’t really care.
She bought four parcels of agricultural land totalling 870 acres in March 2023 and the Maui fire was seven months later in August 2023. You have it backwards.
NOAA doesn’t agree with the rapid ocean rise as people like to think is happening. It’s only risen about .8 inches over the last couple hundred years. It’s also not all man made. The islands are made from volcanic action, there are volcanoes everywhere in the ocean that displace water, earthquakes and movement of the crust also displace water levels. Believe it or not we’re still in the last ice age yet nearing the end of it and we have no idea when that is. There are still polar caps with lots of snow and ice. It’s a fact earth has had four to five ice ages and none of the previous ones ended due to man made problems. It’s the cycle of earth and its climate. Man is not as powerful as we like to think we are that we could alter the climate of this giant ball whirling around in space at 67,000 mph, rotating at 1,000 miles per hour. We can’t stop volcanoes or earthquakes from happening nor asteroids from smashing into us.
Official statement taken from N.O.A.A. website: "Sea level along the U.S. coastline is projected to rise, on average, 10 - 12 inches (0.25 - 0.30 meters) in the next 30 years (2020 - 2050), which will be as much as the rise measured over the last 100 years (1920 - 2020)." So, they say sea level has risen on average 10-12 inches between 1920 and 2020, and it is expected to rise 10-12 inches more in the next 30 years.
@@NotExpatJoe Per Climate.gov. 8-9 inches since 1880. Not all and very little, so little it can’t be measured is by man. Since we’ve been in the final stages of the last ice age for supposedly millions of years. Then the fact as I may have already stated under ocean volcanoes displace more water than any other form. All the water on earth is all the water it’s ever had or will have. It’s never become more or less. It’s either in the form of ice, clouds, freshwater or saltwater, beneath the soil or above the soil. Fact is scientists, if you choose to believe them say this is normal for earth to either be frozen over, dry because it’s all subterranean , or drowned in water and has been one of those at least four to five times. Long before man existed, again according to them. So there is nothing we can do to stop, slow or even speed up the process. Just a means to get money and power.
I don’t disagree beaches are important, but so are property rights, and it’s the state who approved the permitting of these homes, and it’s the state that has zero problems charging the property owners thousands and thousands of dollars to live on property they own. The state thus is obligated to either return all the property taxes or take responsibility for the permits they issued that they shouldn’t have in the first place. Or you let the homeowner protect their land. What’s this lawyer talking about water shelf and sea level rise. Both are false. It’s called natural erosion. Not a new phenomena. Not sure how humans got so dumb buying all this sea level rise nonsense. Water over time is the most corrosive element on earth; all coasts erode. PERIOD. Only in Hawaii would we rather the land shrinks altogether so we can keep a beach. Meanwhile in places like Japan, they’re smart enough, as island peoples, to use hardening as a technique so that their island lands don’t shrink and people will continue to have a place to live.

Just as long as they don’t pollute the water and take full responsibility and legal action if any of their actions and materials do end up in the ocean. Enjoy that backyard while you can.
Was that Kaanapali? The shots of the resort with the eroded beach? If so, jeez, it's really getting bad. I had no idea sea level rise was that far along.
Hawaii law says beach access every 1000 fee .
Dukelow…. Isn’t that Hawaiian royalty or something?

Sprockets I’ll e is one of my favorite places to windsurf, i hope its still accessible. Larry
I thought all beaches are public in Hawaii. Get on down there, Mr. Reporter!
One tenth of an inch in a 100 years isn't raising sea level.
If you just make up numbers then what’s the point? It’s easily accessible information. Go educate yourself. The oceans are rising. So much so that it has slowed the planet down ever so slightly but enough that we can measure. If you don’t understand the mechanism behind that then that’s another thing to easily go educate yourself on.
Land sinking eroding. Sea not rising.
There has to be a compromise. 😐
Compromise with who? For what? Those people wanted to build their mansions patron the sand & water. Not our problem. Compensation? You kidding me right? They built, they figure out with their monies. Leave our state $$’s alone. Ain’t for that kinda stuff. Use your own $$’s
Why can't they take sand from the deserts and put it on eroding beaches?
Desert sand might be made of the same stuff but, it is quite a bit different structurally than beach sand. Beach sand is fairly coarse like table salt, while desert sand is smooth and kind of powdery. Desert sand cannot be used to make concrete, and it can't be used to effectively rebuild a beach. It will wash away fairly quickly.
Hey..quit selling your beaches. In oregon you cannot own the beach…
Land like this should not be taking its belongings to nature’s living people and all living
Single family homes right on the beach is the problem. Nice as they are, multi-floor, multi-family units (eg, apartments) are a more responsible long term solution where a whole bunch of people can enjoy living on the beach and take up only a fraction of the ground space. You'll also get sewers instead of septic tanks and that'll solve another problem too.
I took geology 101 in college. The professor explained erosion, flooding, landslides, et. all. Seemed pretty simple to me. Don’t build homes in those areas
Clearly they built to close to the ocean.
Climate or not.
Why not put breakers up and fortify the shoreline with plants?
So, don't combat beach erosion because they want access to the beaches. LOL Humans.....
ALL Beaches should be public access.
Yes, and the view also.
Spreckelsville... named after the sugar baron Claus Spreckels, father of Bunker ??
So wait, you are saying the water table is rising and so we need to protect beach access? Wouldn’t the beach be under water then? There is infinite access to those beaches for fishing all along that section. This is garbage reporting.
The news script readers think everyone is dumb and buys their BS. It’s amazing how news is all gaslighting, always.
All your comments are negative. Tell me the last time you walked the coast from stable road to get to the beach they are reporting on in this video?
beaches move so not underwater if not for barneys hardening the shore that's the point of this story
no, opposite... the land is sinking ... Hawaii is diff from the rest of the World...
in Hawaii the land sinks 4X faster than the ocean rises..... thus why Kure island is just a huge atoll now and was huge island larger than the Big Island only 33mill yrs ago... try google the words 'Maui Nui' and hit images to see how large Maui used to be...iow Maui Nui was 7X larger than today Maui... aroha
Yeah, it seems the 'experts' of today use the 'sea-level rise' crutch to explain all. The sea walls are part of the problem. With naturally breaking waves, sand is transported and deposited along the beach in one direction or the other. When the sea wall is introduced, the waves crash against it, creating turbulence which erodes the sand. I posted an excerpt from a study in my comment just a bit ago that explains the real reason for this beach disappearing.
There is no sea level rise. Erosion at the beach is normal.
sand moves
Mother earth put the islands there and mother earth will take them away you can throw as many trillions you want nothing will stop that from happening.
So what's with the Robot Voice? 0:10
Oh those poor millionaires!
Time to move mate
How much sea level rise has there been?
none....in Hawaii its different than the entire World...

@@tamehamehaprints3604none? Stop lol. The sea level rises every year on this planet. Hawaii isn't immune from sea level rise lol
None, erosion is natural. Look at the grand canyon.
@bradbutcher3984 wrong. How do yall not know this. Did yall not go to school? Sea levels rise and fall and currently we are in a rapid rising period. Jesus christ Americans are so uneducated
That boy reporter sounds and looks like he just hit puberty
What ?
You guys won't be very happy when the sea erodes through the property, and then through the coastal road that a lot of people depend on.
I think it is that fuzzy math, no one seems to understand the beach is gone, when it takes out the road they will complain that they don't have access to it? It is the evil ex-land owners' fault. See a video about a pier that doesn't reach the water anymore because they moved in way too much sand, I'd like to see how they did that, must be very expensive, and temporary.
If you don't spend the time and money to reinforce those beaches, there'll be no beaches to go to.
AINOKEA!
'Ō, keiki.
I'm of two minds about this.
On one hand, preventing erosion is a good thing. It preserves the habitat for everybody and it's not that big a beach. It's not like the owners are walling off the entire North Shore.
OTOH, the legal principle of public beach access is a hard fought one and one that requires a lot of effort to maintain.
I can legitimately see both sides to this.
There is only 1 Side moron…it’s called Public Safety & Security. You wanna Die just because you want your kicks…Don’t.
But trump says the ocean will rise only 1/8 of an inch in the next thousand years 😂
We have known for decades that the sea level is rising. If you choose to buy a house on the beach, you're taking a gamble. No cry when you lose.
How much has the sea level rose in those decades?
wrong........ in Hawaii the land sinks 4X faster than the ocean rises..... thus why Kure island is just a huge atoll now and was huge island larger than the Big Island only 33mill yrs ago... try google the words 'Maui Nui' and hit images to see how large Maui used to be...iow Maui Nui was 7X larger than today Maui... aroha
@@tamehamehaprints3604 how many time have we rebuilt Honolulu harbor because the sea level changed? Or is it exactly the same level?
@@tamehamehaprints3604 Thanks to satellite and tide gauge data, we know that sea level is rising about 3.3 millimeters (0.13 inches) a year.
Earth is currently in an ice age called the Quaternary Ice Age which began around 2.5 million years ago and is still going on. We are currently in an interglacial stage of this ice age. The periods within ice ages are defined as: Glacial- A glacial period is a cold period when the glaciers are expanding.
Alaska was once a rainforest millions of years ago. Fossils found in Alaska indicate that the state had a warm, wet climate during the Cretaceous period, which lasted from 570 to 500 million years ago through the Devonian period, which lasted from 408 to 360 million years ago.
So as you see when alaska melts all the ice turns into water.. Its not human made, Its nature..
No it isn't. The sea level doesn't need to rise for erosion to occur.
the land in Western Washington coastline is rising ... really? yup ... the high tide line 150 years ago was inland about a 1/4 mile ... go figure ... 😂🤙 go surf
Tides are not affected by climate change. They are caused by the gravitational forces exerted on the earth by the moon, and to a lesser extent, the sun.
Sea level rise? What are they talking about, according to N.O.A.A.'s own data sea levels haven't risen more than 2 inches in that area since they started keeping records there.
I just check and N.O.A.A.'s data shows sea level along that coastline has risen 12 inches (0.30 meters) between 1920 and 2020.
More anti-native architecture.
Is that a Russian accent?
No.
Its happening...GLOBALLY
Beach erosion is a nightmare everywhere
Not maintaining beaches properly is a nightmare. Cutting down mangroves which hold the sand results in erosion. Changing mother nature to have a picturesque home should be a crime.
The oceans are not rising. It’s called natural erosion after time. You think seriously that icebergs are melting, which is raising the ocean level is belligerent and ridiculous.
There are datum references that have been around for well over a hundred years that definitively prove the sea level has risen. Anything else is BS.
The water levels have not risen any significant amount. Erosion is what water does.
Hewa
You can't fight mother nature. And you don't "lose" beaches. They just move inland. If that threatens your property, sorry. That's the way the cookie crumbles.
Sea levels don't rise...ground erodes...jeeze
There are datum references that have been around for well over a hundred years that definitively prove the sea level has risen. Anything else is BS.
Definitely need to maintain beach access but the dude is full of it when he blames global sea level rise

I’m surprised they’re not sounding off over the 870 acres that Oprah just recently bought. She takes a pounding from the public over how she handled the Maui fire situation and then buys 870 more acres. Shows she doesn’t really care.
She bought four parcels of agricultural land totalling 870 acres in March 2023 and the Maui fire was seven months later in August 2023. You have it backwards.
Hawaii better vote TRUMP!!!!!!!!
The dems have done NOTHING for you!!
NOAA doesn’t agree with the rapid ocean rise as people like to think is happening. It’s only risen about .8 inches over the last couple hundred years.
It’s also not all man made. The islands are made from volcanic action, there are volcanoes everywhere in the ocean that displace water, earthquakes and movement of the crust also displace water levels. Believe it or not we’re still in the last ice age yet nearing the end of it and we have no idea when that is. There are still polar caps with lots of snow and ice. It’s a fact earth has had four to five ice ages and none of the previous ones ended due to man made problems. It’s the cycle of earth and its climate. Man is not as powerful as we like to think we are that we could alter the climate of this giant ball whirling around in space at 67,000 mph, rotating at 1,000 miles per hour. We can’t stop volcanoes or earthquakes from happening nor asteroids from smashing into us.
Official statement taken from N.O.A.A. website: "Sea level along the U.S. coastline is projected to rise, on average, 10 - 12 inches (0.25 - 0.30 meters) in the next 30 years (2020 - 2050), which will be as much as the rise measured over the last 100 years (1920 - 2020)."
So, they say sea level has risen on average 10-12 inches between 1920 and 2020, and it is expected to rise 10-12 inches more in the next 30 years.
@@NotExpatJoe Per Climate.gov. 8-9 inches since 1880. Not all and very little, so little it can’t be measured is by man. Since we’ve been in the final stages of the last ice age for supposedly millions of years. Then the fact as I may have already stated under ocean volcanoes displace more water than any other form. All the water on earth is all the water it’s ever had or will have. It’s never become more or less. It’s either in the form of ice, clouds, freshwater or saltwater, beneath the soil or above the soil. Fact is scientists, if you choose to believe them say this is normal for earth to either be frozen over, dry because it’s all subterranean , or drowned in water and has been one of those at least four to five times. Long before man existed, again according to them. So there is nothing we can do to stop, slow or even speed up the process. Just a means to get money and power.
Sea ,level rise is total hype!! build on sand and you will regret it'
Build house on beach...Climate Change.
I don’t disagree beaches are important, but so are property rights, and it’s the state who approved the permitting of these homes, and it’s the state that has zero problems charging the property owners thousands and thousands of dollars to live on property they own. The state thus is obligated to either return all the property taxes or take responsibility for the permits they issued that they shouldn’t have in the first place. Or you let the homeowner protect their land. What’s this lawyer talking about water shelf and sea level rise. Both are false. It’s called natural erosion. Not a new phenomena. Not sure how humans got so dumb buying all this sea level rise nonsense. Water over time is the most corrosive element on earth; all coasts erode. PERIOD. Only in Hawaii would we rather the land shrinks altogether so we can keep a beach. Meanwhile in places like Japan, they’re smart enough, as island peoples, to use hardening as a technique so that their island lands don’t shrink and people will continue to have a place to live.
