VIDEO. From the California Natural Resources Agency’s Speaker Series on December 11th, 2023.
Sea level rise in California carries significant implications due to its extensive coastline, diverse ecosystems and densely populated coastal regions. Join us for our final Secretary Speaker Series of the year, where we’ll talk with Pulitzer Prize finalist and Los Angeles Times environmental reporter Rosanna Xia. She’ll share her insights on this topic from her groundbreaking book “California Against the Sea: Visions for Our Vanishing Coastline.”
From the beaches at the Mexican border up to the North Coast, hear about stories from Indigenous leaders, community activists, small-town mayors, urban engineers, and environmental scientists. Together, we’ll unpack the rivaling arguments, agreements, compromises and visions that shape the State of California’s commitment to a coast for all.
