Albion, CA Coastal Erosion Rate

Shoreline change 7 miles south of Albion, CA

Insufficient data

This segment, 7 miles south of Albion, CA, falls in a gap in USGS's own transect coverage - no usable reading, so none is claimed.

What "Albion" means on this page

USGS surveys the coast in transects spaced a few hundred feet apart; this page groups the nearest ones into a single ~3.5-mile reading for the stretch closest to Albion, CA, rather than showing one arbitrary line. Segment center: 39.13, -123.72. Survey years: 1852-2016, method LRR, from USGS's California shoreline-change assessment. That's how current the data is here, real, but not a live feed, since a shoreline survey is a major undertaking, not an annual check-in.

What backs this reading up

Source: USGS National Shoreline Change data release (ScienceBase, DOI 10.5066/P94J0K7Z), Kratzmann 2024 / Data Report 1187. Rank 991 nationally for growth belongs to Shinnecock Hills, NY, 2677 miles from this stretch, measured at 0.39 ft/yr. 2.7 miles up the coast, Manchester, CA shows 0.17 ft/yr of eroding.

Not this whole stretch, just Albion itself: the Coastal Change Hazards Portal is USGS's own live version of this data.
