Planned Retreat from the Beach Can Work

"But planned retreat has worked for places like Hilo, Hawaii, whose downtown was twice devastated by tsunamis before they got smart and moved it back, creating a 300-acre waterfront park. The creation of the park led to the clean-up and recovery of Hilo Bay, which is today the pride of that Aloha City." - excerpt from the newsletter Blue Note #39 by the Blue Frontier Campaign.
