The Siletz littoral cell, the case study, is one such case. It is one of the most developed portions of the Oregon coast and is already more than half protected by SPSs. The trend for this area has closely mimicked episodic climatic events in that after such events there are bursts of SPS construction. The risk with such an approach is that there will, over the long-term, be a narrowing and eventual loss of oceanfront beaches.
