MALIBU SEA CLIFFS SOON GONE?

MALIBU TIMES - SEA CLIFFS TO REDUCE BY 130 FEET by 2100

Using a computer modeling system that incorporates existing data, scientists predict that with limited human intervention, 31 to 67 percent of Southern California beaches may become completely eroded (up to existing coastal infrastructure or sea-cliffs) in just 80 years under scenarios of sea-level rise of one to two meters. The forecast predicts severe erosion on highways serving cliffside areas such as Palos Verdes Peninsula and suggests coastal cities such as Malibu could be affected with the loss of homes, businesses and parks—cliffside coastal properties—as rising sea levels batter and chip away at land mass.
