HOPE for
the COAST

Time and time again Californians have voted to protect and invest in our iconic coastline, a more than three thousand-mile-long treasure that people enjoy every day. But sea level rise is changing today’s coast. The coast of tomorrow will not be the same as the coast of today.

To inform current and future adaptation decisions and conservation actions, The Nature Conservancy in California and the California State Coastal Conservancy (SCC) collaborated to produce the first statewide, comprehensive assessment of the vulnerability of California’s coastal habitats, imperiled species, and conservation lands to sea level rise.
