EROSION PROBLEMS IN OUR AREA VS

THE BLUFF BENEATH SCENIC DRIVE IN CARMEL EXPERIENCED EROSION DUE TO HIGH TIDES, HEAVY SURF AND DIVERSION OF WATER COMING FROM THE CARMEL RIVER. THE HUGE WAVES HAVE BEEN SO POWERFUL THEY DON?T ALLOW CARMEL RIVER WATER TO EMPTY INTO THE OCEAN. TRACTORS ARE TRYING TO GIVE THAT WATER A NEW OUTLET THAT WON?T ERODE THE BLUFF, WHICH INCLUDES AN OLD-GROWTH CYPRESS IN DANGER OF COLLAPSE. ONLY ABOUT 30-YARDS AWAY ARE MULTIMILLION DOLLAR HOMES ON THE OTHER SIDE OF SCENIC DRIVE. SO FAR THE AREA IS WEATHERING THE STORM, BUT AT LEAST SOME RESTORATION WORK WILL BE NEEDED. IN SANTA CRUZ COUNTY, THE WAVES WERE SO HIGH THAT THE CAPITOLA WHARF HAD TO BE TO SHUT DOWN. ALSO IN THE CITY OF SANTA CRUZ A SECTION OF EAST CLIFF DRIVE HAD TO BE CLOSED FOR SAFETY.
