No New Shoreline Structures

Surfrider Foundation's Shoreline Structures Goals:
  • Ideally, no new shoreline structures.
  • No permanent structures approved under 'emergency' conditions.
  • Preference for alternatives to shoreline structures.
  • An accurate and up to date inventory of the location and type of shoreline structures.
  • Comprehensive long-term monitoring of effectiveness and for adverse impacts and cumulative effects.
  • Public education about alternatives to shoreline structures, and the potential adverse impacts and cumulative effects associated with them.
