Pacific Northwest Waves Are Getting Even Bigger

"The rates of erosion and frequency of coastal flooding have increased over the last couple of decades and will almost certainly increase in the future. The Pacific Northwest has one of the strongest wave climates in the world, and the data clearly show that it's getting even bigger." - quote from Peter Ruggiero, an assistant professor in the Oregon State University Department of Geosciences; quote appeared in this UnderwaterTimes.com article.
