Coastal Retreat in California's Central Coast Region, specifically Southern [[Monterey Bay]], has the fastest rate of erosion in California.<ref name="HapkeEtAl.2006"/> Since the retreat is occuring in the [[Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary]], scientists are determined to find possible mitigation efforts, reasons for high rates, and, specific hot spots.

An environmental summary created by the ENVS 560/L Watershed Systems class at CSUMB.

This page gives a background on Coastal Retreat in California's Central Coast Region and highlights scientific findings pertaining to coastal erosion.

Rates of retreat

The Southern Monterey bay region has some of the highest coastal erosion rates in the state of California.[1]
