Oahu's coastline is eroding primarily due to climate change impacts like sea level rise and increased storm intensity. Human activities such as development, dredging, and coastal engineering have also contributed to the island shrinking in size over time. Efforts to mitigate erosion include beach nourishment, seawalls, and planting vegetation.
