Venice Braces Its Beaches and Canals For El Niño Impact

VENICE - With a historic El Niño already taking shape, Venice is undergoing a series of upgrades and repairs to help protect the coastal area from incoming harsh weather and flood risks. Work has begun to help prepare the coastal area for record-breaking water levels and flooding risks, with improvements underway in vulnerable areas including the Venice Pier and tree-lined roadways. The preparation has included clearing out storm drains, trimming more than 100 trees, and renewing infrastructure in flooding-prone areas like the Venice canals. Large waves associated with the storm have already caused coastal LA's sea levels to reach 1.3 feet above average , breaking previous records for maximum sea levels. Warmer water temperatures cause the increase in sea levels, and with LA continuing to see hotter water temperatures than normal, the levels may only continue to rise. El Niño is a naturally occurring climate period categorized by increased storms and rain due to warm ocean temperatures. The strong storms bring risk of debris flows, rising sea levels, and localized floods because of the rain - during LA's past El Niño winters, some of the county saw its rainfall more than double.
