A new study uses satellites to predict what California’s famous coastline could look like by 2100
conducted by the same researchers focused on the rate of coastal erosion in southern California. That study found a similar fraction of southern California beaches – between 31 and 67% – were susceptible to vanishing.
The California Coastal Commission is already encouraging cities to harden their coastline by building seawalls or depositing large rocks that can help protect them from pounding waves . Restoring natural sand dunes can also help protect beaches. The study points to several areas at particular risk of severe erosion: Point Arena and Humboldt Bay in northern California, Pismo Beach and Morro Bay in central California, and Newport Beach and San Clemente in southern California.
