Santa Barbara County requires twice-yearly cliff-edge measurements for Isla Vista property owners to monitor erosion and safety.

Santa Barbara County enforces new safety measure for Isla Vista cliffs after several student deaths.

These measurements will help the county monitor erosion and decide if further action is needed.
