The City of Malibu invites community members to participate in an upcoming workshop focused on the Coastal Vulnerability Assessment, offered in-person April 18 and virtually April 30. This workshop provides a valuable opportunity for the community to share feedback and engage in discussions regarding the next steps in addressing the projected impacts of sea-level rise in Malibu.
“We live in a seaside community that is highly vulnerable to sea-level rise, so it is crucial to get everyone in Malibu informed and involved in the efforts to address it,” said Mayor Steve Uhring. “If we collaborate and share ideas, then we can be better able to shape the future of our coastline, and make sure Malibu stays strong and resilient for future generations.”
The in-person workshop takes place on Thursday, April 18, 5pm at City Hall (23825 Stuart Ranch Road). The virtual workshop will be held on Tuesday, April 30, 3pm. Zoom link for the virtual workshop is posted here. RSVPs are not required for these events.
The City previously presented technical results of projected sea-level rise impacts in the mid-century and late-century at in-person and virtual workshops in November, 2023. The recording of the virtual workshop is also available to watch. The draft Coastal Vulnerability Assessment report and interactive GIS map is available to review here.
The community’s input, gathered through the upcoming workshop, will play a pivotal role in shaping the final stages of the Coastal Vulnerability Assessment as the project approaches completion. The community’s active participation is vital in shaping the resilience of Malibu’s coastal community.
