Sink the Useless Long Beach, CA Breakwater!
- All these years later, the only real impacts of the Long Beach Breakwater have been negative. The breakwater has ruined the waves, which has added to pollution by depriving the water of the cleansing action of circulating tides. The dirty water and flat surf have reduced beach usage -- from local citizens to vacationers to conventioneers -- which hurts businesses. - quote from coastal engineer Seamus Ian Innes, appearing in this The District Weekly article.
