Coastal Resilience Strategy
The Coastal Resilience Strategy (CRS) assesses hazard risk and community vulnerability, identifies nature-based solutions appropriate for this site, quantifies conservation and restoration action, and measures the effectiveness of our actions to reduce hazard risk and build climate resilience.
Future phases of this work would include actual on-the-ground restoration and plan implementation. In 2023, CCA successfully added the Randall Preserve Wetland Feasibility Study to the Southern California Wetlands Recovery Project Work Plan.
The Resource Management Plan (RMP) and the Coastal Resilience Strategy (CRS) are two separate, but intertwined documents. Activities for both include identification of land uses and policy constraints, pre-colonization and settlement history, determining appropriate conservation and access goals as well as management objectives, physical and environmental setting, fire history or fire management concerns, historic weather trends, existing and future funding needs, a biological monitoring schedule, hazard risk assessment, recommendations for risk reduction, and more.
The public will also have opportunities to weigh in on the CRS by providing comments on the draft document and participating in public engagement meetings before finalization and adoption. Again, CCA will promote these public engagement opportunities when they arise.
This project is funded through a grant from National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, The Trust for Public Land, and Wildlife Conservation Board to CCA. Dudek was hired to develop this plan with support from several subcontractors.
