The state wanted to learn more about coastal erosion, and commissioned a set of studies that covered the coast of California.<br /><br />ESA-PWA is doing the study for the SF and San Mateo coasts. They didn't say much about the golf course. If you're interested in the geology of the coast, you might want to go to the meeting. <br /><br />They said local coastal erosion patterns weren't well understood. Something that I found surprising was that they said most of the sand on the beaches in Pacifica probably came from the land and cliffs right off Pacifica. I'd thought most of the sand on our beaches had been swept down from the Northern California coast, or came from the bay.<br /><br />While their presentation was interesting, I suspect this is one of those studies that will end up on the shelf, with nothing coming of it. They were pretty open that no matter what the studies found, cities and local governments don't have the money to actually implement anything.<br /><br />ABAG was supposed to post a link to ESA-PWA's presentation, but I haven't seen it yet. I'll post the link if I come across it.Steve Sinainoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7481238059942383326.post-34042933177315830022012-07-15T20:22:04.990-07:002012-07-15T20:22:04.990-07:00Planned retreat is a way of deciding whose propert...Planned retreat is a way of deciding whose property, house and all, gets left behind. They want the golf course - hence planned retreat might be the way. Help us all!

The group is proposing planned retreat in some areas and the Brent Plater group of biological Diversity. I would be very wary of this plan. Come one come all - this impacts your future and for some of you it impacts your property. Sand Management sounds so benign - it is not!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
