Critical public infrastructure is at risk, including Highway One along the coast and dozens of wastewater and other industrial facilities.

Temperature changes shift habitats both on- and offshore, making it even more challenging to protect them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fortunately California is embracing these challenges. The Coastal Commission is leading a sea level rise planning effort, and more than two-thirds of California’s 76 local governments on the outer coast have completed or are undertaking \u003ca href=\"https://www.coastal.ca.gov/climate/slr/\">coastal hazards vulnerability assessments\u003c/a>.

The Coastal Commission is leading a sea level rise planning effort, and more than two-thirds of California’s 76 local governments on the outer coast have completed or are undertaking \u003ca href=\"https://www.coastal.ca.gov/climate/slr/\">coastal hazards vulnerability assessments\u003c/a>.

The Point Arena-Stornetta Public Lands provide important habitat for harbor seals, Steller sea lions, and an occasional elephant seal, which visitors can catch sight of from the vantage of the terrace's western bluffs. The terrace itself supports thriving native bunchgrass prairie and coastal scrub communities. Generally low-lying vegetation is punctuated by a rare bishop pine forest and the southernmost natural example of a shore pine forest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bunchgrass prairie is home to the endemic \u003ca href=\"http://www.fws.gov/arcata/es/inverts/behrensss/bss_bfly.html\" target=\"_blank\">Behren's silverspot butterfly\u003c/a>, which is dependent on the presence of the dog violet. The rare and endemic Point Arena mountain beaver makes use of the diverse habitats in these lands. A wide array of rare bird species also uses the area's interconnected habitats, including the black oystercatcher, the little willow flycatcher, the yellow warbler, and the black-crowned night heron. Squadrons of brown pelicans are a frequent sight, gliding low over the powerful waves, while snowy plovers are sometimes seen foraging along the surf line.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_128951\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 300px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/03/behrensbutterfly.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/03/behrensbutterfly-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Behrens silver-spot butterfly, an endangered species found at the new Point Arena unit of the California Coastal National Monument.

At the northern end of these lands, the Garcia River ends its 44-mile journey to the Pacific. The estuary formed by the meeting of these waters provides both a nursery for juvenile fish and a transition zone for a variety of far-roaming salmonids, including central California coast coho salmon, the California coastal Chinook salmon, and northern California steelhead. These anadromous species depend on the Garcia River estuary and its flow through the Point Arena-Stornetta Public Lands to access their upstream spawning habitat.

The proclamation, which the president signed earlier today at the White House, waxes poetic on the Point Arena-Stornetta Public Lands that will become part of the monument: \u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Some of California's most spectacular wildlife make use of this striking landscape and its diverse vegetation communities. The Point Arena-Stornetta Public Lands provide important habitat for harbor seals, Steller sea lions, and an occasional elephant seal, which visitors can catch sight of from the vantage of the terrace's western bluffs. The terrace itself supports thriving native bunchgrass prairie and coastal scrub communities. Generally low-lying vegetation is punctuated by a rare bishop pine forest and the southernmost natural example of a shore pine forest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bunchgrass prairie is home to the endemic \u003ca href=\"http://www.fws.gov/arcata/es/inverts/behrensss/bss_bfly.html\" target=\"_blank\">Behren's silverspot butterfly\u003c/a>, which is dependent on the presence of the dog violet. The rare and endemic Point Arena mountain beaver makes use of the diverse habitats in these lands. A wide array of rare bird species also uses the area's interconnected habitats, including the black oystercatcher, the little willow flycatcher, the yellow warbler, and the black-crowned night heron. Squadrons of brown pelicans are a frequent sight, gliding low over the powerful waves, while snowy plovers are sometimes seen foraging along the surf line.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_128951\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 300px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/03/behrensbutterfly.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/03/behrensbutterfly-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Behrens silver-spot butterfly, an endangered species found at the new Point Arena unit of the California Coastal National Monument.
