Draft and finalize Molokai CCSLAR Plan
Molokai CCSLAR Plan will:
- have an indigenous place-based perspective—meaning the planning process will be led/driven by Molokaʻi kamaʻāina and long-time community leaders
- incorporate appropriate technical land-use planning and coastal engineering expertise
- utilize this process as an opportunity to engage and develop our next generation of local leaders
- result in an action-oriented document that identifies the key climate change issues and ways to build greater community adaptability, resilience, and capacity in the years ahead
