Sea Level Rise Will Cause Narrower Beaches and Economic Impact
- "As rising sea levels eat away at the California coastline over the next century, the changing beachfront may cause huge economic damage to coastal communities stemming from lost tourism and tax revenues, according to a state-commissioned study released Tuesday. Economists at San Francisco State predict that as climate change warms the ocean, causing it to swell, storm damage and erosion will narrow the state's beaches and diminish their appeal to tourists, recreational visitors and wildlife." - excerpt from article in the LA Times. Read the study.
