Coastal erosion in Southern California could increase by three times, prompting a range of logistical and economic issues, a new study has found.
Living on the coast of Southern California could be five times more expensive by 2050 due to coastal erosion, a new study has found.The erosion, due to rising sea levels and increased urban development, is rising at an alarming rate, the study from the University of Southern California shows. The researchers believe that by 2050, beach erosion will increase living costs in the region by five times, severely impacting the economy.
This could add logistical and economic pressure to communities, the study reported.'Our investigation suggests that coastal problems start inland due to the rapid growth of cities along the coast, which compromise inland sediment replenishment of sandy beaches,' Heggy said.'As our beaches shrink, the cost of maintaining them will rise. Finding innovative solutions is key to securing a sustainable future for our shores and local economies.
