“Over the past few years the Archdiocese has sought more input from professionals in preserving these [heritage] buildings. Errors in the past are being corrected now.”

“I am from southwest Cedros, and I have seen coastal damage. There used to be a historical lighthouse on the peninsula, but due to erosion and rising sea levels the lighthouse was lost.”

“Planning is the first step to ensure that crucial areas are protected and safeguarded. We need to talk to the communities that live in flood-prone areas as well.”
