Advocacy: EcoMalibu promotes: preservation and conservation of undeveloped open space, restoration of wetlands, streams, and other habitats that result in clean water, improved wildlife habitat, and safer more livable communities. In the next 30 years climate change is expected to cause sea level rise and coastal flooding, prolonged draughts, more frequent floods, more severe and increased numbers of fires, and dramatic increases in the extinction of animal species.
EM advocates for Smart development and restoration actions that will make communities safer and less vulnerable to impacts associated with climate change. Working with nature, by placing new or relocating critical infrastructure away from areas vulnerable to climate impacts and preventing future losses by restoring coastal wetlands, sand dunes, and flood plains will enhance fish and wildlife, improve water quality, and make our communities safer from floods, fires, and draughts. Smart coastal resilient development costs less and improves the quality of life for members of those communities.
