El Nino Erodes Surfrider Beach: 15 cm Higher Tides
coastal-erosionSurfrider Beach's rocky point, a critical coastal infrastructure, faces erosion due to El Nino's impact. The beach acts as a dissipative buffer, but with rising water levels and increased wave energy, the system's stability is compromised. Kassia Meador's 30-year tenure highlights past stability, but the immediate risk is structural, as basal erosion threatens linear infrastructures' foundations.
