Protecting Our Beach
Please click here for more information about the history and challenges of our vanishing beaches and contact my office to learn how you can help.
Currently we do not have usable beaches south of Wisconsin Street for a majority of the year and urgent action is needed to fix the problem.
I am proud to have led the Sand Nourishment and Retention Pilot Project in 2019, which helped initiate the restoration process of our beaches. I have also devoted my time to collaborating with community advocacy groups that focus on sand nourishment and retention. I played a crucial role in creating the first Coastal Zone Administrator. Furthermore, I have been a committed supporter of Oceanside's coastal resiliency project - RE:BEACH. Although we are on the right track, it will take continuous effort and community support to ensure a solution is identified and funded.
As a lifelong surfer and the Oceanside Deputy Mayor, protecting our ocean and beaches is critical to me.
A group in Oceanside called SOS - 'Save Oceanside Sand' organized a 'Revetment Walk' in July with Deputy Mayor Keim, City Staff and residents to take a closer look at existing revetments on Oceanside beaches and discuss all possibilities of sand replenishments and sand retaining actions.
