Major environmental concerns for Pacific Coast residents include rising sea levels, urban sprawl, and coastal erosion.

The Pacific Coast faces a range of significant environmental challenges. Rising sea levels, largely driven by climate change, threaten coastal communities with flooding and erosion. Urban sprawl contributes to habitat loss, pollution, and strains on infrastructure, as more people move to coastal areas. Coastal erosion, exacerbated by storms and human activity, further impacts the shoreline, threatening homes, businesses, and ecosystems. Addressing these concerns requires comprehensive planning, sustainable development, and proactive climate change mitigation to protect the environment and ensure the resilience of coastal communities.
