I support funding shoreline retreat. However I believe there should also be a moratorium on any new building of structures in the 3.2 foot sea level rise exposure area (SLRXA). There many recent and ongoing developments and construction within or partially within the SLRXA such as Maui Bay Villas and the mansions at Palauea Beach which is an area with known burials. Distribution of funds for retreat should also take into account whether the parties applying for funding knowingly built in SLRXA.
