Save Pleasure Point from another century of seawalls! Santa Cruz County's plan to address sea level rise includes a new seawall across the cliffs from 41st to Capitola - effectively dooming our remaining beaches and surf to drown as sea level rises. As sea level rise meets a fixed seawall, it will create permanent high tide conditions for the wave and eventually drown our beaches and waves all together in the coming decades! Absent a seawall, the cliffs would naturally erode and our beaches and waves could persist. It is time to change the pattern of development along the cliffs and protect our public resources. A brand new seawall all along Opal Cliffs Drive will protect private property, but not our beaches and waves! The County needs to come up with a plan that prioritizes protection of our natural resources and recreational opportunities - it is the law. The County's plan is inconsistent with the California Coastal Act and must be rejected.
Join us on Tuesday, Sept. 20 at 9 am at the Santa Cruz County Board of Supervisors meeting and tell them to save our waves and withdraw the LCP update and reject the shoreline protection area. Feel free to reach out for more information or help with talking points. Join via zoom or in person to speak on item number 9: link in bio.
Please share and bring your friends and family!
