Severe storms and inundation of record high waves are impacting our coastlines. Come for a waterfront bike ride along the Monterey Bay Coastal Recreation Trail from Monterey to the Pacific Grove coastline. Learn how the City of Pacific Grove is better prepared than many cities to address these issues due to the Citys Shoreline Park that runs the length of the coastline, long standing policies of setting development back from the shoreline and the geologic foundation of granite overlain by marine terrace deposits. The City is evaluating and planning for potential shoreline impacts that are expected to result from sea level rise, including the potential for relocation of portions of the recreational trail, and relocation of utilities. Hear updates from the City on the Pacific Grove Shoreline Management Plan being developed and the recently updated City of Pacific Grove Local Coastal Program. The tour will start from the conference venue on Cannery Row.
