El Nino threatens California beaches
California’s coast is experiencing intensified erosion and flooding due to strong waves from an upcoming El Niño, prompting extensive use of seawalls and large rocks to protect infrastructure and properties. While these measures may safeguard structures temporarily, experts warn they accelerate beach loss by preventing natural inland retreat of the shoreline. Efforts include installing shoreline barriers and replenishing sand, but long-term solutions face challenges due to high costs and environmental impacts, raising concerns about the future of California’s beaches.
