Re-profile beach profiles that were initially established in the early 1960s and establish new profile baselines for monitoring and quantification of shoreline changes during the passage of extreme events on the islands of Oahu and Maui. The profile data will also be used to quantify results of historical shoreline changes using aerial photographs.
