The County of Santa Cruz is conducting a Sea Level Rise Vulnerability Assessment (SLRVA) as part of its Local Coastal Program (LCP) focused on addressing coastal hazards. The LCP is a state-mandated plan that guides land use and development along the coast to balance environmental protection, public access, and sustainable development. The project team is engaging stakeholders to hear about needs, challenges, and opportunities related to the country's coastline and to ensure the SLRVA is grounded in community-lived experience.
