project in the area. The sites selected were also chosen to document 

 environmental conditions and changes on a variety of shore orientations 

 and beach configurations. The shorelines at the observation sites vary 

 from pocket beaches in the rugged, rocky headlands of Northern California 

 to the long and uninterrupted beaches of Southern California. 



At the sites owned and operated by the State of California, Park 

 Rangers, the professional personnel who staff these sites, make the daily 

 observations in addition to their regular duties. At the other sites, 

 private citizens donate a part of their time to make the observations.
