Abstract

In the preservation of sound coastal environment, public understanding of the state of the coasts and various phenomena occurring on the coasts is important. In order to realize this, scientific knowledge of the coast should be popularized as much as possible. Santa Barbara, California, where is the famous marine resort town of high society in West Coast, was investigated in March and August 1999. Santa Barbara is considered as a field museum to exhibit coastal sciences. People can see various natural phenomena with many explanation panels on the coasts. In Santa Barbara, cliff erosion is severe for much personal property above the cliff to be endangered. A wooden pier was built in the central part of the sandy beach to show shore dynamics. Museums also are useful for the understanding of the local coast.
