TARAVAL VERTICAL SEA WALL.

There is a serious beach erosion problem at Ocean Beach, San Francisco. The problem exists in the beach between Noriega and Santiago Streets. The problem will not be solved by beach nourishment alone. The author concludes problem can be solved by extending the Taraval Sea Wall to Noriega Street. It may be solved by building a seawall on City property. If the National Park Service will not alter its policy of 'No Structures on Beaches', it should return to the city the needed strip of dune land which the city donated to the Part Service, in order that the City can have and maintain, at reasonable cost, a proper beach and highway and have control of the area where planting and fences for abatement of blowing sand can be constructed and maintained.
