Kauaʻi’s coastlines are shifting—and so are the rules! In this episode, Olivia breaks down the County Council’s proposed shoreline setback bill that could change the future of building near the beach. What exactly is a shoreline setback? Why is the council rethinking the distance between homes and the ocean? And how could these new regulations impact homeowners, surfers, and everyone who loves Kauaʻi’s iconic shores?

Join us as we:

• Demystify what a shoreline setback actually means
• Explain the new, data-driven formula for safer, smarter building
• Talk about why public access and environmental protection matter
• Share what comes next, and how you can make your voice heard

Whether you own coastal property, love beach walks, or just care about Kauaʻi’s future, this is the update you can’t miss!

Tune in, stay informed, and help us keep Kauaʻi’s beaches beautiful and accessible for generations to come.
