On Wednesday, April 9, 2025, the California Coastal Commission unanimously approved a $1.835M grant for the City of Oceanside. These funds will support a robust baseline monitoring effort to advance the City’s coastal management program and the implementation efforts of the RE:BEACH Oceanside project, an innovative pilot sand retention project that proposes to use an artificial reef and two headlands, combined with sand nourishment, to restore the City’s beaches.
