City of Marina Land Use Plan 2100
The City of Marina Local Coastal Program Coastal Hazards and Sea Level Rise Land Use Plan outlines a strategic direction for managing and adapting to coastal hazards and sea level rise. Based on a comprehensive vulnerability assessment, the plan identifies coastal dune erosion as the primary threat, impacting critical sectors including land use, parklands, trails, access, water supply, wastewater infrastructure, roads, parking, bike routes, and dune habitats. Key strategies focus on improving community resilience, protecting the unique natural coastline and its resources, and ensuring public safety and welfare. The plan prioritizes nature-based solutions, accommodation, and managed retreat, explicitly seeking to avoid shoreline protective devices. The anticipated reduction in erosion rates following the cessation of sand mining is a crucial factor enabling adaptation efforts.
