Description

In 2006, the Hawaii Coastal Zone Management (CZM) Program updated the Hawaii Ocean Resources Management Plan (ORMP), a statewide plan to protect and improve the condition of ocean resources in the state. While the ORMP does not specifically address climate change, the ORMP Working Group, established to ensure implementation and advancement of the plan, does support the development of adaptation strategies that lessen the impacts of climate change. In 2009, the ORMP Working Group, with assistance from the University of Hawaii's Center for Island Climate Adaptation and Policy (ICAP), developed A Framework for Climate Change Adaptation in Hawaii to provide guidelines on how the State of Hawaii could plan for adaptation to climate change impacts.
