Seacliff Resilience Workshop

California State Parks and Friends of Santa Cruz State Parks presented findings from the Sea Level Rise Vulnerability Assessment and Shoreline Adaptation Alternatives Study to the community on September 11, 2025. The presentation was held in-person at Cabrillo Community College and virtually on Zoom. Approximately 250 people attended the presentation, which reported vulnerability findings and recommended preferred actions for five locations at Seacliff and New Brighton State Beaches, along with next steps in the recovery and resilience efforts at Seacliff and New Brighton.
This presentation was an opportunity for the community to engage with experts on beloved local landmarks and natural spaces in the aftermath of storm damage to both of these State Beaches in the beginning of 2024.
