Contents Notes |
"With explanations of the area's geological evolution, including natural shoreline erosion and sea-cliff landsliding, Komar details human interaction with the coast; erosion caused by early settlers, the development and destruction of Bayocean Spit, the disastrous effects caused by the 1982-1983 El Nino, and the notorious failure of a construction project on the unstable bluffs at Jump-Off Joe. Komar provides the knowledge necessary for finding a safe home near the shore while preserving the beauty that draws us to it"--Back cover. |
