"In April of last year, the state pumped in 24,000 cubic yards of sand from offshore to replenish and widen Waikiki Beach by about 37 feet. The $2.5 million project started from from the Duke Kahanamoku Statue at Kuhio Beach to past the Royal Hawaiian Hotel. During that time, workers also tore down two rock walls or groins that stretched out into the ocean. Those who know this beach well say taking those walls away might have caused the erosion to get worse." http://www.khon2.com/news/waikiki-beach-erosion-worsens
