SOME INSTITUTIONAL CONSTRAINTS TO COASTAL ZONE MANAGEMENT: A CASE STUDY OF HAWAII REVISITED

The coastal zone plays a strategic role in Hawaii's economy. A previous study (1974) identified and examined the institutional constraints to the effective management of Hawaii's vital shoreline and made a strong case for drastically revamping Hawaii's archaic institutional infrastructure. A number of developments in institutionalizing coastal land use decision making took place between 1972 and 1986. The most important of these was the establishment of the Hawaii Coastal Zone Management Program in 1978. According to the authors, however, this elaborate system has not been able to effectively address the major constraints to coastal zone management, and, in general, the conclusions reached in the 1974 study remain valid.
