| South Sloat January 2014 |
Dear Surfriders and Friends,
In 2013, the Restore Sloat Campaign continued to press its
case through public outreach, participation
at government meetings, regular correspondence with decision makers, ongoing
media outreach and more. This past year, we saw modest near term improvements in the
form of additional sand added to the erosion site. As chronicled in our previous posts, there was also recognition
from public agencies that the new sand berm at Sloat needs an anchoring system so that sand does not blow drift back into the parking lots. Work is underway on that behalf as well the effort to remove some of the rock debris from the beach. While we
look forward to the day when the long term plan is finally built, we will continue to work for a continual improvements.
One last thing! The
California Coastal Commission extended the deadline for public comment on its
Sea Level Rise policy guidance to February 14, 2014. If you would like to help preserve our beaches, click this link to the Commission homepage to
download the document. http://www.coastal.ca.gov/index.html Surfrider is asking the Commission to strengthen the guidance to promote long term planning based on managed retreat.
Thanks for checking in!
