… OneShoreLine, a county-wide agency working to address sea level rise, flooding and coastal erosion, recently installed a monitoring system in Pescadero to help residents figure out just how flooded the road is and whether it’s too dangerous to drive. Before OneShoreLine intervened, the only way residents could guess if the road was safe enough to cross was by looking at an old marker, a metal sign with a white line painted on it. … The [Resource Conservation District] is trying to get homeowners along Pescadero Creek Road to agree to a kind of radical solution: if each one gives up a little bit of their property and allows the RCD to plant willows and add rocks, it will stabilize the shore.
