Sea levels along California's coast are expected to rise three feet or more in the coming decades. A new book looks into what a new rising ocean means for coastal communities today and into the future. Plus, Oceanside is tackling the problem of a rising ocean by holding an international design competition to reimagine its coast.
S1: Welcome , San Diego , it's Jade Hindman. The beauty of our beaches doesn't just happen by accident. People in coastal communities fight the challenges of climate change and beach erosion. Every day we'll talk about the important work being done. This is Midday Edition , connecting our communities through conversation. You know , it's hard to picture California without thinking about its beaches.
S1: You know , one fascinating aspect of your book is just how we thought about this changing coast over the years. S1: That's so very interesting , because when I first moved to San Diego , I was wondering , why isn't there more development along the coastline ? Where are the hotels and the spas and and restaurants along the beach ? And that explains it. That explains a lot of it. So , you know , when it comes to climate change solutions , you say they generally fall into one of two categories mitigation or adaptation. And you argue that we need to focus more on solutions of adaptation at this point.
S1: Rosanna Shaw is an environment reporter with the Los Angeles Times. Her new book is called California Against the Sea Visions for Our Vanishing Coastline. And Rosanna , thank you so much for joining us today.S1: Coming up , a project in the North County's biggest city aims to restore years of eroding coastline.
S1: Which is , I would imagine , really impactful in Oceanside , since there are the beaches are so narrow and run so close to the city. Right. S3: So our public workshop number two is happening on October 17th from 4 to 7 at the Oceanside Museum of Art. Everyone is welcome. Please RSVP if you haven't already and check out what we've been up to on Re Beach Dawg. That's our Design competition webpage. So at this workshop you're going to meet the design teams. They're coming back and they're coming back to Oceanside to showcase how they refine their designs.
