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.
Contents
Rates of retreat
The Southern Monterey bay region has some of the highest coastal erosion rates in the state of California.[1]
- Monterey: 1 ft / year
- Seaside: 3 ft/year
- Marina: 6 ft/ year
Potential influences
- Sea level rise
- Sand Mining in California's Central Coast Region
Impacts
- Critical habitat for Special Status Animals in the Central Coast Region (including nesting habitat for the Snowy Plover)
- Coastal recreation trails
- Eco-tourism
