Development on Coastal Bluffs and Cliffs Increases Coastal Erosion

"Development of coastal sites has increased the rate of coastal erosion by the introduction of drain pipes and septic tanks that saturate soils with runoff; the irrigation of lawns and gardens can cause even the most stable sedimentary bluffs to collapse and slide into the sea." - excerpt from the book, California Coastal Resource Guide, by the California Coastal Commission, 1987, pg. 18.
