Final Design moves forward:
On May 6, 2019, the City of Ventura approved a cooperative agreement with BEACON to contract with the consultant for final design and engineering of Phase 2 of the Surfers’ Point Managed Shoreline Retreat project. BEACON approved the final agreement at their May 17 board meeting. This clears the way for work to begin under the $335,000 grant announced by the Ocean Protection Council last summer.
Phase 2 of the project will relocate the damaged bike path and parking lot back to Shoreline Drive as shown in this illustration:

In 2019, Surfrider organized two Spring Dune Stewardship Workdays, held on March 10 and May 5. Surfrider volunteers have been maintaining the restoration area by removing non-native weeds since 2011. Our work is paying off, and the dunes are looking great!
