This one was done in 2014 along the same stretch of Santa Cruz Beach and boardwalk. Whats great with these jet skis, we can get into very, very shallow water. We can get into water thats just about a foot deep where small boats cannot go and you can map the entire surf zone all the way up to the shoreline. Reporter researchers say with storm tracks shifting north and rain patterns changing, their work will help communities change for the future. Northern california may see more sand while the south will get less. Rising seas could have a negative impact. More sand may require boat channels to be dredged. David louie, abc 7 news.

These cranes are going to help us just doing the work more safely. Some of these trees have been dead for too long. Theyre past the point where we can actually climb them, so we need to crane them out. Reporter residents want to see the danger reduced.
