California Against the Sea: Visions for Our Vanishing Coastline by Rosanna Xia is a 2023 nonfiction work of environmental reporting that examines how climate change and sea level rise are reshaping California’s 1,200-mile coastline. Drawing on Xia’s experience as a Los Angeles Times coastal reporter, the book combines field reporting, scientific explanation, policy analysis, and interviews with Indigenous leaders, scientists, public officials, activists, and residents. Its purpose is not simply to describe coastal loss, but to show why the crisis is unfolding, how decades of development have intensified vulnerability, and what adaptation choices now face communities across the state. The book is especially concerned with the tension between attempts to hold back the ocean through hard infrastructure and more flexible approaches such as restoration and managed retreat. It presents California’s shoreline as both a local and global climate case study, making the book relevant to readers interested in environmental justice, infrastructure, land use, and the practical limits of living at the edge of a changing sea.
