SEA LEVEL RISE: A California Perspective Julie Thomas Coastal Data Information Program Southern California Ocean Observing System Scripps Institution of Oceanography May 3, 2011

Do our federal, state and local communities take sea level rise seriously? “I’ve been plagued with worry over rising water levels, so….”

The Impacts of Sea-Level Rise on the California Coast by the Pacific Institute March ,000 people at risk in Orange County Population vulnerable to a 100 year Coastal flood with a 1.4 m sea-level rise

Flooding and erosion already pose a threat to communities along the California coast and there is compelling evidence that these risks will increase in the future. In areas where the coast erodes easily, sea – level rise will likely accelerate shoreline recession due to erosion. Recommend that Climate change must be integrated into the design of all coastal structures. Future development should be limited in areas that are at risk from rising seas.

California Coastal Commission California Coastal Commission: Current Approaches to Addressing Sea Level Rise Through Planning, Permitting and Partnerships Western Coastal Program Managers Meeting January 5, 2011 Michelle Jesperson, Federal Programs Manager

California Coastal Commission Local communities are beginning to address sea level rise in their General Plans.

California Today California in 2100 Sea Level Today 3m 5m + Extreme High Tide + Extreme Storm Wave Runup Maximum Potential Inundation Elevation 8m + PDO + ENSO 0m Elevation Combined Effect of Sea Level Rise, Ocean Warming Events, Tides and Waves Ice Loss Long-Term Risk Factors Episodic Risk Factors +Extreme Wave Runup +Extreme High Tide

Federal & State Sponsored Monitoring Coastal Data Information Program (CDIP) Coastal Data Information Program (CDIP) Southern California Coastal Ocean Observing System (SCCOOS) Southern California Coastal Ocean Observing System (SCCOOS)

Coastal Data Information Program 35 years of monitoring Waves on the West Coast. Ocean Beach Feb 1983 Storm and El Niño enhanced sea levels during an extreme tide

Collecting Shoreline Change data for Southern California Predicting sea level rise impacts includes consideration of tides, wave height, terrestrial elevation and runup.

COASTAL FLOODING & EROSION Automated Warnings of Highway Flooding Open Coast Flooding & Erosion Risk Assessment : Pacific Region

Erosion problems now  It WILL get worse  How much worse?! El Niño + Large Waves + High Tides +Runup + Sea Level Rise Torrey Pines State Beach – Nov. 2001

Planning for Impact & a Resilient Future Environment – Mapping/monitoring – Comprehensive floodplain management – Identifying land at risk – Develop decision-making methodology to determine whether to: Fortify or rebuild damaged infrastructure; Reduce the footprint of vulnerable or damaged infrastructure; or Abandon and relocate critical infrastructure. Encinitas Encinitas

Sept 2010 California Coastal Conservancy/Ocean Protection Council As baseline for planning, surveyed the California Coast with both bathymetric and topographic LIDAR, up to the 20 meter Contour

Partnering Organizations are in the process of surveying coastal communities to help build technical capacity to address climate change. Sea Grant Center for Ocean Solutions, Stanford University Susanne Moser Research & consulting California Ocean Protection/Ocean Science Trust NOAA San Francisco Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve San Francisco Bay Conservation & Development California Coastal Commission RISA & SCCOOS

March 6, FEDERAL, STATE and Municipalities are starting to plan for Climate Change. Is it being taken seriously? 2. Sea Level Rise is one component that needs to be addressed. How to build resilient communities ? SUMMARY
