Monterey Bay Opportunistic Beach Nourishment Program

Monterey Bay Opportunistic Beach Nourishment Program

The cities of Marina, Monterey, Sand City and Seaside are proposing the Monterey Bay Opportunistic Beach Nourishment Program. The proposed program is designed to facilitate sand placement in order to mitigate ongoing coastal erosion and the effects of future sea level rise, resulting in multi-objective long-term benefits with minimized short-term adverse effects. Under the proposed program, the cities would undertake multiple distinct sand placement activities as opportunistic sources become available and are determined compatible. As envisioned under the proposed program, there may be up to three types of projects.
