On August 22nd, the board voted 4-1, with Supervisor Das Williams opposed, to allow county personnel to send an application and contact easement holders for financial assistance.
The Chamber's position has been the same for many years -- we support buried rock revetments at Goleta Beach Park because this technique is the best investment for protecting the park and our budget. Erosion will likely be an ongoing problem and while sand-retention and sand nourishment are also important techniques that can be utilized, the "last backstop" in the form of a rock protection, is vitally important.
The Chamber was represented by Coastal Law Expert, Mark Massara, who spoke on behalf of our organization at the hearing to support the Supervisors approval of the permit. The Chamber's committee, Friends of Goleta Beach, will continue to advocate for alternatives to help protect our park.

The Fish Reef Project offers Alternative for Goleta Beach Erosion
|
As the Friends of Goleta Beach Park committee continues to advocate for the protection of Goleta Beach Park, the organization has partnered with non-profit, Fish Reef Project, to explore how their unique Reef Ball concept can help protect our park.
The Fish Reef Project is the next great ocean enhancement and restorat
ion project which will turn empty seafloor into thriving marine ecosystems. Their system creates a unique home for marine life. Their proposal, to install a reef 300-500 feet offshore and the span of the entire beach will allow the beach to be restored overtime.
Reef Balls provide protection for small marine life to spawn and thrive.
