A Century of Sand Debt Comes Due in Malibu
Malibu is facing the environmental consequences of a hundred years of mismanaged coastal sediment, described as a 'sand debt' now coming due. Decades of development, dams and armoring have starved the beaches of the sand that naturally replenished them, leaving the famed shoreline eroded and increasingly vulnerable as seas rise and storms intensify. The story has drawn attention to who will pay to restore the coast and whether it can be saved.
Why now: Concern about coastal erosion and climate-driven sea level rise is intensifying, putting Malibu's shoreline in the spotlight.
