Staff Report

Surfers Beach Replenishment/Dredge Pilot Project Update.

From: John Moren, Director of Operations on February 21, 2024.

The goal of the Surfers Beach Restoration Pilot Project is to remove sediment which has built up inside the Pillar Point Harbor (PPH) outer breakwater and move it to Surfers Beach for beneficial re-use. In addition to addressing coastal erosion and public access issues at Surfers Beach, this project would also address the issues associated with the shoaling that has occurred inside of the Harbor since the outer breakwater was constructed. The anticipated outcome is that the project will address impaired public access/recreational impacts and damages from coastal storms.
