Santa Cruz Wharf Collapse

Santa Cruz's 110-year-old wharf faces ongoing threats from powerful winter storms, which recently caused part of the structure to collapse into the ocean. Efforts to update and strengthen the wharf have sparked legal battles with residents who advocate preserving its historical character. The perplexing question of modernizing coastal infrastructure while respecting its heritage is a growing concern as climate change intensifies storm severity.
