California Coastal Records Project
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The California Coastal Records Project documents the California coastline with aerial photos taken from a helicopter flying parallel to the shore. Their webpage provides access to these images.
The entire California coast is included, except sections of Vandenberg AFB (although they include some historical photos from an earlier survey in 1989). Most of the coast has been photographed several times, and the website had an interface for comparing photos taken during different years.
The project was sued by Barbra Streisand, who claimed they infringed upon her privacy by displaying photographs of her Malibu home. The project countersued under the SLAPP provisions of California law, and prevailed in court. Streisand v. Adelman Et al, in California Superior Court; Case SC077257 [1][2]
