Bluff collapse warning system proposed for northern San Diego County coastline
SAN DIEGO — A bill passed by the Assembly Natural Resources Committee last week would allocate $2.5 million for research that could help create an early warning system for California’s coastal bluff collapses.
AB 66 by Assemblywoman Tasha Boerner Horvath (D-Encinitas) would give Scripps Institution of Oceanography the job of researching when and why bluffs fail, so potentially catastrophic failures of the seaside cliffs can be predicted.
