Regulations Don't Always Prevent Coastal Homeowners from Building Seawalls
- "Despite the negative impact that seawalls have on surrounding coastlines, a South Korean billionaire has been allowed to build a new one in Kahala after his application for a shoreline setback variance was approved unanimously last month by the City Council."
