Let's see how the wankers who were lamenting over the possible land seizing that Trump was going to have to do to build a border wall will react to this?
(Trump wouldn't need to land grab due to the Roosevelt Reservation Act of 1907)

The California Coastal Commission is set to empower local government to take thousands of properties through eminent domain along 1,100 miles of coastline to prepare for sea level rise.
Despite California being battered by 4-8 inches of torrential rain and flooding from an El Niño weather cycle, E&E News reported that the State of California in late January will authorize eminent domain authority for local jurisdictions to implement a "managed retreat" policy that will allow taking and demolishing coastal homes and businesses.
The California Coastal Commission circulated an 87-page "Draft Residential Adaptation Guidance" in March regarding how communities could proactively address sea level rise impacts through Local Coastal Programs (LCPs). Although the CCC draft did not adopt specific retreat guidance, the California Special Districts magazine expects that the CCC will predict a sea level rise of 2.5-5.5 feet and the elimination of 31-67 percent of Southern California beaches by the year 2100.

The cited article contains a lot of "could" and "expected" and from what I read the Roosevelt Reservation Act of 1907 was established to keep a 60' strip of land free from obstruction (doesn't sound like a wall, eh? ) as a protection against the smuggling of goods between the United States and Mexico.

What else ya got?

Amazing how often you folks show exactly how little you really know!

Border wall construction has included a mixture of 15-to-20-foot-tall steel border wall (with many variations in design), a variety of vehicle barriers that block motor vehicles but may permit wildlife crossing, and the
accompanying patrol roads on or along the actual border.
Much of the construction occurred within the Roosevelt Reservation just outside the borders of Wilderness and brings some benefits to Wilderness by reducing illegal vehicle incursions.
Where construction occurred inside Wilderness, however, the impacts were significant and longterm.
This would certainly be the case should DHS decide to build a wall, fences, roads, or similar infrastructure through designated Wilderness along the Northern Border.
Then there is this ..

In April 2008, DHS Secretary Michael Chertoff, using authority given to him by Congress,11 signed a major waiver.
It was a determination to “waive in their entirety, with respect to the construction of roads and fixed and mobile barriers (including, but not limited to, accessing the project area, creating and using staging areas, the conduct of earthwork, excavation, fill, and site preparation, and installation and upkeep of fences, roads, supporting elements, drainage, erosion controls, safety features, surveillance,
communication, and detection equipment of all types, radar and radio towers, and lighting)” along parts of the southern border with Mexico.
The 2008 Chertoff waiver covered more than 35 federal laws that form the
bedrock of environmental protection in this country.
Without comment, the justices refused to consider pleas that Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff had overstepped his constitutional authority by waiving laws and regulations in order to expedite construction of 670 miles of fencing along the U.S.-Mexico border.
Chertoff, invoking authority granted by the REAL ID Act of 2005, has waived more than 30 laws in the administration’s goal to complete the fencing by Dec. 31. Chertoff has told Congress that "it would be impossible" to meet the deadline without invoking the waivers.
