Annually, Rappa Fellows engage in projects that look into natural, social, and built environments in Hawaiʻi and how to better manage issues that affect coastal community livability, sustainability and resilience. Rappa Fellows further their knowledge and understanding of sustainable coastal communities through research, extension, and community-based education in topics of coastal smart growth and community planning and their integration with hazard mitigation and climate change adaptation as well as cultural and traditional knowledge of Hawai‘i.
