Crescent City Plans Tsunami Resistant Harbor Upgrade
Crescent City California will host the West Coast’s first harbor designed to resist tsunamis about every 50 years after a 2011 Japan quake caused major damage. Officials budget 54 million dollars to install 244 steel pilings, core bedrock anchoring, and a redesigned dock to dampen surges and protect the harbor’s main industry. The project follows decades of 34 tsunamis recorded since 1934 and aims to curb repeated damage seen in Crescent City and nearby ports.
