Sea Level Rise Projections & Variability
Projections were made for three stations, La Jolla’s was chosen for this study due to geographic similarity
• There are uncertainties and variability
• Rate of sea level rise depends on emissions
California Ocean Protection Council Projections (2017), shows range of likely SLR rates by emission scenario

Ballona Lagoon & Canal District Tide Gates

1. How do the tide gates function today?
2. How might sea level rise impact these functions?
Key Questions:
![Page 22: City of Los Angeles Venice Local Coastal Program Update...• California Coastal Act of 1976 requires local governments to have a Local Coastal Program (LCP) • LCPs regulate and](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081611/5f0e136b7e708231d43d7efc/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

• Gates control tidal range of Ballona Lagoon and Venice Canal District
• Drained at low tide then allowed to refill up to mean sea level or mean high water
• Venice Canals are flushed ~ twice a week at low tides

1. Develop a range of sea level rise scenarios from moderate to extreme high projections in the Venice Coastal Zone
2. Identify anticipated sea level rise impacts on coastal, community, and shoreline assets in the Venice Coastal Zone, such as:• Coastal Development and Coastal Dependent Development• Public Access and Recreation• Coastal Habitat • Socio-Economic Diversity • Water Quality
3. Assess risks to coastal resources and development in Venice
