As sea-level rise bears down on the West Coast, cities and counties must “overcome the taboo of managed retreat, which in some areas may represent a long-term transformative option,” says an April report by the international Ocean & Climate Platform, which promotes ocean-based climate and biodiversity solutions.

Living along the coast next to the Pacific Ocean provides us with a temperature buffer or moderating effect. Yet we have had snow on the beach in Santa Cruz on several occasions and also had some very sweltering days here.

Today, the City of Oceanside named 15 local, state, and national experts to serve as a Jury in its upcoming Coastal Resilience Design Competition. The Competition intends to generate innovative solutions for the retention of sand along Oceanside's beloved coast, particularly south of the Oceanside Pier where the impacts from rapid coastal erosion are felt most acutely.

San Clemente city staff are moving ahead in the process of finding a coastal administrator who would be tasked with directly handling coastal issues and beach restoration efforts as the topic of coastal erosion grows in relevance.
