A new study for Oregon State University shows that the choices coastal planners make about where to allow development and where to build seawalls may have just as much of an impact on coastal communities as climate change. Peter Ruggiero, one of the authors of the study, joins us to talk about the choices that coastal communities can make and how they impact the future.
