I think dredging the coast would/will be a multi-agency issue that would start with the feds. The Army Corp of Engineers would have the first say..

and I suspect this is a bit outside their standard cut and paste of preexisting policies. They may have, though I doubt it, policies on how to address a newly emplaced beach. But none-the-less to touch a stone, or build a wall, or dredge a beach, all of which happen, but are subject to very rigorous control by the Corp. After that the state, DLNR, will have all sorts of things to say as well.
The bigger question (imo) might be land based access for boats. What road would they be expected to approach the area on? Used to be going down through the mangoes was a lot of humbug so going through 4 corners.. now what? Come down 130 and all the way over from Kalapana?
There will be a ramp.. but where? Someone put out the idea of building a new one. I think Kaimu would be the best.. build an inland harbor like they did in Kona could be a really big boom for the area. Could develop a whole industry around that. Good straight road access and the state owns all the land that filled in Kaimu Bay. I think that would be way better than Pohoiki.. but wonder what others think.
It will be interesting to see how this develops. But I doubt it will happen fast.
