"Stop human interruption of natural beach processes"

Shoreline structures: seawalls, groins, revetments

Seawalls Kill Beaches

Beach Dredge and Fill (Nourishment, Replenishment, Restoration)

Watershed (sandshed)

Coastal Development

Beach is Alive

Beach Preservation Policy (ratified by BOD in 1999) Promote long term beach preservation for the benefit of the public. Protect undeveloped spaces through: Placement of beaches and beachfront lands in public trust Establishment of beach setbacks based on current and historical erosional trends Restoration of natural sediment transport processes in coastal watersheds

Beach Preservation Policy (cont.) Where erosion threatens existing coastal development, we advocate appropriate long-term solutions that maximize public benefit. Landward retreat of structures from dynamic shorelines Where landward retreat is not feasible, beach nourishment may be considered for short-term beach preservation. Under no circumstances does the Surfrider Foundation support the installation of stabilization or sand retention structures along the coastline. Such structures can protect existing coastline development but have no place in beach preservation.

Case Studies

Case Study: Malibu Lagoon Restoration Nancy Hastings SoCal Field Coordinator BACKGROUND: Created Breach bulldozed & wave destroyed Surfrider's 1st victory Lagoon health fails Breach shifts East Increased erosion 1970's Present 1929

WHAT WENT WRONG: Entire eco-system not considered Narrow focus on improving only the lagoon channels Impacts on the beach and wave not studied Various enviro's and surfers joined in opposing the project Surfers NOT: Surfrider Foundation!

PROBLEMS Restoration did not study impacts to coast and wave New activists unfamiliar with year issue Chapter unsure how to proceed - no science to go on Chapter morale impacted by attacks from opposition SOLUTIONS Take a step back - Ecosystem and Chapter concerns Hire professionals - PWA/ESA to address Chapter and opposition's concerns. Take the offense vs defense. Promote positive solutions. (ie: relocate the breach) "PROTECT THE BEACH... MOVE THE BREACH!"

Case Study: Ocean Beach, San Francisco Sloat Blvd

El Niño 2010
