Summary

Existing law requires the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California, San Diego, upon appropriation by the Legislature, to conduct research on coastal cliff landslides and erosion in the County of San Diego, to be completed by January 1, 2025. Existing law requires the institution to conduct real-time measurements of land deformation to identify and analyze conditions that precede catastrophic bluff failure on 2 specified sites as a condition of receiving funds. Existing law requires the institution to provide a report to the Legislature with recommendations for developing a coastal cliff landslide and erosion early warning system based on available research no later than March 15, 2025. This bill would require those real-time measurements, and identification and analysis of those conditions, for a 3rd specified site as a condition of receiving that funding, and would extend the deadline for the research to be completed to January 1, 2026. The bill would also extend the deadline for the institution to provide the report and recommendations to the Legislature to March 30, 2026.
