Global mean sea level (GMSL) has risen at an accelerating rate.
GMSL reached its highest value ever in 2023 and could rise to 1 metre under a very high emissions scenario by 2100.

A strong statement from the California legislature, led by state Sen. John Laird, opposing offshore oil drilling and supporting @thecacoast.bsky.social and @cacoastal.bsky.social. We are fortunate to have such staunch ocean leaders in our state! #CoastalProtection #CoastalAccess #ActForTheOcean
🌊 Nearly 90 California lawmakers have sent a clear message: No new offshore drilling and continued strong protection for California’s iconic coast! 🧵

[2/5] La cour administrative d’appel de Nantes a estimé que le Scot, prévoyant un passage de 160.000 à 200.000 habitants d’ici 2035, n’avait pas correctement évalué les capacités d’eau potable, d’assainissement ou de mobilité, exigées par la loi Littoral. #geography #coastalprotection

[4/5] Cette décision pourrait faire annuler d’autres PLU adoptés depuis 2020 dans des communes comme #Vannes, #Arzon ou #Sarzeau, car ils reposent sur un Scot désormais annulé, ce qui expose à une #urbanisation excessive des espaces proches du rivage. #geography #coastalprotection

« Cinquante ans après sa création, le Conservatoire du littoral est dans la tourmente »
TRIBUNE. L’organisme, qui se consacre à la sauvegarde des côtes françaises, voit ses activités menacées, entre difficultés budgétaires et mauvaises volontés politiques.
