Santa Cruz County’s Sea Level Rise Vulnerability Assessment explained
Published 1 month, 4 weeks ago
Description
As those of us who live along the Pacific Ocean know, the coastline can be a dangerous and unpredictable place, particularly when strong storm systems pass through. And as climate change continues to supercharge the frequency and intensity of these storms, what can residents — and the local government that supports them — do to prepare?
The county will seek to answer that question and many more in this consequential study, and Talk of the Bay was lucky to recently have Santa Cruz County Resource Planner David Carlson on the show to explain what the study is all about and why it matters.
