An Overview of Artificial Reefs for Surfing and Sand Retention in California

Innes, Seamus Ian

The guidelines for California set out by California's Ocean Resources: An Agenda for the Future (Resources Agency of California, 1997) describe the need to protect property and maintain recreational amenities throughout California's beaches. The report details shortfalls of historic structural methods used for property protection and leaves the door open for innovative solutions. Artificial reefs with a surfing component and sand nourishment could very well provide the answers without the typical downcoast erosion and impacts to recreation. This paper addresses the applicability of these types of reefs in California.
