Our Vision of Beach Restoration and Preservation

Written by Mike Grizzle | Mar 18, 2019 9:21:00 PM

The shorelines of Ocean Beach south of Sloat Blvd and Sharp Park in Pacifica are threatened by rip-rap seawallls and long-term erosion. This blog chronicles our campaign efforts to restore these beaches. Check out the web view of this site to see our proposed solutions and how to help- in the right hand column below. For all the latest about our efforts, see our monthly posts.

We advocate a managed retreat strategy to restore Ocean Beach south of Sloat.

At Sloat, our vision involves:

  • A long-term plan to relocate threatened infrastructure(including the south of Sloat Great Highway, the two oceanside parking lots and the sewer lines underneath them).
  • The cleanup of all the rock and rubble littering the beach.
  • The use of sand dunes as the primary tool to slow erosion.
