I-Elkhorn Slough iqukethe ubukhulu bomswakama kasawoti obungu-3 eCalifornia futhi isekela ukuhlukahluka kwezinto eziphilayo okungavamile. Cishe izivakashi ezingaba ngu-50 000 zivakashela minyaka yonke ukuyobuka izinyoni, zibone ama-otter asolwandle anekhono, ne-kayak emanzini akhanyayo e-slough. Umgwaqo onguthelawayeka ongu-1 unqamula ngqo phezu komlomo wesilayidi futhi usengozini yokugcwala ezindaweni eziningi lapho umgwaqo omkhulu unqamula khona amaxhaphozi.

Le ndawo esezindaweni eziphansi izobhekana nokukhuphuka kwamazinga olwandle futhi mhlawumbe kukhuphuke izivunguvungu ezidala izikhukhula ezivame kakhulu futhi ezinamandla futhi ekugcineni zigcwale amanzi asolwandle unomphela. Lokhu kungathinta impahla yasogwini, ingqalasizinda, ukuphepha komphakathi, kanye nokufinyelela kulezi zinsizakusebenza ezimangalisayo zasogwini.

Lokhu okuhlangenwe nakho kufingqa okutholakele okubalulekile okuvela kuCentral Coast Highway 1 Climate Resilience Study. Siyethemba ukuthi izosikhanyisela ngokuhlela okufanayo okuphathelene nezokuthutha kanye nezinkinga zemithombo yemvelo lapho kubhekene nokuguquka kwesimo sezulu nokwenyuka kwezinga lolwandle.
