Redwood National and State Parks Geologic Resources Management Issues Scoping Summary
Covington S. 2004. Redwood National and State Parks Geologic Resources Management Issues Scoping Summary
A Geologic Resources Evaluation scoping meeting for Redwood National and State Parks was as held in Ashland, Oregon, March 2-3, 2004. The scoping meeting participants identified the following as the most significant geologic resources management issues. 1. Sediment transport and other fluvial processes have played a significant role in the management of the park. Legislation in 1978 expanding the park mandated erosion and sedimentation studies. 2. Continuing seismic activity and the potential for tsunamis is of major concern. 3. Coastal and marine issues, including offshore sediment budget, potential oil spills, and visitor use (rock climbing and social trails) are of concern.
