Post Conference Technical Tour
September 6, 2001, San Francisco, California

The Post Conference technical tour will begin at 8 am and visit some of the very interesting sites along the San Francisco waterfront. Descriptions of the sites are given below. These have been especially selected because they have been enjoyed by previous visitors to San Francisco. The tour will return from the Bay Model via a ferry ride across San Francisco Bay. Prof. Robert L. Wiegel, University of California, Berkeley, will narrate the tour with George Domurat, Corps of Engineers and Lesley Ewing, California Coastal Commission.

Ocean Beach is the Pacific Ocean shore of the City of San Francisco which is high susceptibility to erosion largely by determined North PacificOcean waves, which are able to reach the locality. Ocean Beach extends 3.3 miles from the Cliff House to Fort Funston to the south. Erosion of this shoreline poses a serious threat to the Great Highway, the Westside Sewer Transport Facility and private residences.
