More
than 85% of California's shoreline is actively eroding.
Erosion is a natural process which has been unnaturally accelerated
by decreased sand supply due to modifications to the shoreline
coupled with periods of storm activity.
Beach renourishment is an effective way to reverse the erosion
of California's beaches. California's renowned beaches such
as Santa Monica, Coronado, Mission Beach, Newport and Huntington
Beach are artificially nourished beaches! The Public Beach Restoration
Act will fund a proactive solution to many of California's beach
erosion problems. |
