Residents of Malibu and other California coastal cities are facing sometimes herculean insurability challenges, severallawsuits and regulations impacting coastal communities and their properties are pending or recently published, while local governments grapple with whether and how to address the impact of sea level rise and beach declination.
As this goes on, a group of elected and appointed officials from various governmental agencies, including the California Coastal Commission, will join environmental, legal, economic, urban planning, and engineering professionals at One California, One Coast : the 2024 Smart Coast California Policy Summit on Sept. 4-5. The event will be held at the Renaissance Newport Beach Hotel.
One glance through the packed and important agenda convinces one that this is not just a conference for lawmakers and policy wonks.
