USC SeaGrant: Coastal Adaption

Climate-Induced Human Mobility: New Publication

USC Sea Grant released a synthesis report on the People on the Move in a Changing Climate (PEMOCC) Southwest Workshop that took place in Fall 2022. This report summarizes expert panels and outlines a list of needs identified in the workshop—divided by research, policy, communication, and coalition building—that can be used as a tool to guide future research, funding, partnerships, and policy-making in the realm of climate-induced human mobility.

Legal Dimensions of Coastal Adaptation Planning: New Publication and Recording

USC Sea Grant recently hosted three workshops on the legal dimensions of managed retreats in California with Robin Craig, Ph.D., J.D. (USC Gould School of Law). The workshops were based on the legal research compiled for “A Community Guidebook to Coastal Adaptation Legal Issues in California,” which offers insights into primary agencies, laws, and adaptation options for coastal communities.
