How We Got Here
Before we change the structure, we need to understand how changing it will change the bay.
2024 — Community Concerns
Kingdom Pathways and community members raised concerns about circulation, stagnant areas, water quality, and the condition of the jetty wall.
2025 — Stakeholder Meetings
Community observations and existing circulation information were brought into discussions about the project.
2026 — Modeling/Alternatives
Hydraulic modeling and alternative analysis began to evaluate how different modifications could affect the bay.

IDENTIFY THE CONCERN
Community reviewed potential alternatives, weighed in on the options, and shared their manaʻo. Feedback from the activity was compiled and provided to HDR for consideration.
BRING IN EXISTING RESEARCH
Research conducted by Christina Comfort identified areas of poor circulation within Pōkaʻī Bay and provides baseline information for understanding how water currently moves.
MODEL THE ALTERNATIVES
HDR is evaluating the jetty wall using hydraulic modeling, community feedback, existing studies, and technical analysis will help inform the alternatives considered.
