Episode 116: Rosanna Xia - California Against the Sea

Rosanna Xia is an environmental reporter for the Los Angeles Times, specializing in stories about the coast and ocean. A Pulitzer Prize finalist in 2020 for explanatory reporting, her work has been anthologized in the Best American Science and Nature Writing series. In this episode of Nature Revisited, Rosanna discusses her book California Against the Sea, and the future of California's vanishing coastline in the face of rising water. The impacts of engineered landscapes, the market pressures of development, and the ecological activism and political scrimmages that have carved California's contemporary coastline are all factors clashing with the escalating effects of climate chaos. Is an equitable refashioning of coastal stewardship possible?
