6. Humans Against Erosion

-
This picture is from Avila on June 4, 2025. The picture shows a man-made rock wall that is between the parking lot and the ocean. People built this structure to try to slow and stop erosion so that way the resturants and docks and parking lot can stay there for a while. I think that it's somewhat successful but that erosion will always happen and will always win out in the end. I think it would've used to been either rocky shore or maybe some beach, but now there's a built rock wall structure with pipes too so that way the water doesn't keep breaking down the land.

Erosion at the Sand Dunes!!!! All of the sand at the dunes are considered sediment and there's erostion because these sediments are being moved. This is a GIANT place (as you can see from the photo of me standing on the dune) in Pismo, CA. I think that there may have been even bigger erosion in the past but there still is erosion that takes place now from the gravity and the wind. These photos are from last weekend. I've also been there on super windy days where you can see sand flying all around and it moves like crazy. I think on normal days the sediment doesn't move very far and stays within the dunes just moving around from hill to hill and creating different dunes maybe. Movement of sediment can travel even further thoguh with people who visit the dunes getting sand in their clothes and shoes and leaving with it. I think that this erosion has been happening for as long as the dunes have existed because they're tall hills and so there will always be sand that ...
