Tides on the Long Beach Peninsula are hitting record highs, fueled by natural cycles and climate change — what’s rare now will be normal by century’s end. Swells in June overwhelmed sand berms, flooding boardwalks and streets, while recent tides still topped seven feet. Residents and city crews are racing to rebuild berms six days a week, but space is running out. Climate plans predict catastrophic sea rise by 2050 and 2100, and stalled projects like kelp reef restoration leave few options. Longtime homeowners recall wider beaches and big events — now, water regularly laps at their porches, and sandbags can’t keep up.

Long Beach Airport is set to host a public forum this Thursday to tackle the controversial issue of landing fees for general aviation aircraft — a move sparked by community concerns and councilmember Megan Kerr’s push for transparency. General aviation includes everything from flight schools and hobbyists to corporate jets — and the big question is whether the airport legally can charge them fees. Federal law strictly prohibits using fees to curb noise or shut down legal flying. The airport staff will outline what’s allowed under federal rules, break down current revenue streams — including $12.9 million from air carriers and just $450,000 from general aviation — and compare practices at other airports like Van Nuys and John Wayne. Crucially, any new fees won’t generate extra profit — they’re capped to cover airfield costs, aiming to fairly distribute expenses among users.
