Description:The Southern California shoreline, some of the most beautiful in the world, extends more than 300 miles from Point Conception to the Mexican border. About 180 miles of this coast contain cliffs ranging in height from a few feet to over 300 feet. Population pressure and urban sprawl have produced increasing development of the sea-cliff areas far from the city itself. It is estimated that within the next two decades a "megalopolis" will extend from San Diego to Santa Barbara, much of which will be within the coastal zone. The bluffs above the sea cliffs are considered ideal residential and commercial locations, due to the mild climate, ocean views, and recreational opportunities. Unfortunately, parts of the cliffed portion of the coastal zone are unstable. As a result, over 200 landslides
resulting in property damage have occurred.
