California’s coastline is experiencing unprecedented erosion due to rising ocean temperatures, strong hurricane activity, and the influence of El Niño, which is forecasted to be especially powerful this winter. Coastal areas, including Malibu and San Diego, are seeing significant beach loss and damage to infrastructure, prompting emergency shoreline protections. Past El Niño events have caused major damage to beaches and structures, and scientists warn that this winter’s conditions could exacerbate erosion and flooding risks further. Efforts are underway to reinforce vulnerable areas, but long-term solutions may require rethinking coastal infrastructure to adapt to rising sea levels.
