County.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 2016, The Bay Foundation (TBF) restored approximately three acres of habitat, including seeding native plants adapted to live on the beach close to the shoreline. The project installed low-lying sand fencing, seeded native vegetation, integrated a beach pathway, and installed interpretive signs to accommodate visitors and beach access. As the plants of the coastal strand habitat grow, they capture windblown sand. Over time, they build small sand dunes that prevent waves and extreme tides from flooding the beach and nearby infrastructure. By establishing this habitat, TBF and its partners are able to affordably create beaches that are naturally resistant to sea level rise, while creating refuge for native species and adding natural beauty to our beaches. Scientific monitoring of this pilot project is being used to inform similar projects throughout southern California. This project also has an extensive outreach and community engagement program.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Following the success of this pilot project, the City of Santa Monica is now working to implement a larger, second project footprint of about five acres, with implementation beginning in late 2023.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n  <\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n  \n    \n\n\n\n\n\n\n<div\n  class=\"cc--component-container cc--accordions \"\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  >\n  <div class=\"c--component c--accordions\"\n    \n      >\n\n    \n      <div class=\"header-container\">\n\n                  \n<div class=\"f--field f--section-title\">\n\n    \n  <h2>\n          Community Engagement\n      <\/h2>\n\n\n<\/div>\n      \n      \n      \n    <\/div>\n  \n      <ul>\n              <li>\n          <button type=\"button\" class=\"accordion-trigger \" id=\"heading-1-1-WZ33Y6QoNl\" aria-controls=\"section-1-1-WZ33Y6QoNl\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-disabled=\"false\">\n                          <span class=\"item-title\">Webinar: Beach Restoration for Coastal Resilience<\/span>\n            \n                      <\/button>\n\n          <div id=\"section-1-1-WZ33Y6QoNl\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"heading-1-1-WZ33Y6QoNl\" class=\"accordion-panel\">\n\n                            \n    \n\n\n\n\n\n\n<div\n  class=\"cc--component-container cc--rich-text \"\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  >\n  <div class=\"c--component c--rich-text\"\n    \n      >\n\n    \n      \n<div class=\"f--field f--wysiwyg\">\n\n    \n  <p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Date Held: June 28, 2023<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"cta-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=nNUYk4U6BBM\">Watch the Webinar<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n  <\/div><\/div>\n            \n                      <\/div>\n        <\/li>\n\n          <\/ul>\n  \n  \n\n  <\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n    \n\n\n\n\n\n\n<div\n  class=\"cc--component-container cc--accordions \"\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  >\n  <div class=\"c--component c--accordions\"\n    \n      >\n\n    \n      <div class=\"header-container\">\n\n                  \n<div class=\"f--field f--section-title\">\n\n    \n  <h2>\n          Partners\n      <\/h2>\n\n\n<\/div>\n      \n                  \n<div class=\"f--field f--description\">\n\n    \n  <ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.santamonicabay.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Bay Foundation<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.santamonica.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">City of Santa Monica<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.parks.ca.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">California Department of Parks and Recreation<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n      \n      \n    <\/div>\n  \n  \n  \n\n  <\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n    \n\n\n\n\n\n\n<div\n  class=\"cc--component-container cc--accordions \"\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  >\n  <div class=\"c--component c--accordions\"\n    \n      >\n\n    \n      <div class=\"header-container\">\n\n                  \n<div class=\"f--field f--section-title\">\n\n    \n  <h2>\n          Links\n      <\/h2>\n\n\n<\/div>\n      \n                  \n<div class=\"f--field f--description\">\n\n    \n  <ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.santamonicabay.org\/what-we-do\/projects\/santa-monica-beach-restoration-pilot-project\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Santa Monica Beach Restoration Overview, The Bay Foundation<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.santamonica.gov\/blog\/santa-monica-brings-a-second-dune-restoration-project-to-the-beach\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Santa Monica Brings a Second Dune Restoration Project to the Beach, City of Santa Monica Blog<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n      \n      \n    <\/div>\n  \n  \n  \n\n  <\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":74,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-4328","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.5 -
