This chronolog is intended to monitor erosion of the coastal bluff and provide information about other beach processes. Coastal bluff erosion here could threaten beach access and campground infrastructure, and images from the chronology can inform management decisions. Additionally, these photos could provide new insights about processes like the movement of large logs on the beach that may be linked to a variety of ecological services.

The Cascadia Coastline and Peoples Hazards Research Hub, or Cascadia CoPes Hub, is a team of researchers funded by the National Science Foundation to increase knowledge about natural hazards and climate change risks coastal communities face and ways to increase their resilience. The Hub is working with communities in the Pacific Northwest, including Washington, Oregon, and Northern California to increase their ability to mitigate and adapt to impacts from hazards.
