After viewing, add your voice by submitting your own virtual feedback survey (Survey open through July 12)
On Sunday, June 14, our San O community gathered once again for Part 2 of the San Onofre Shoreline Resilience Project assembly series. At Assembly Part 1, we provided project framing and background, and asked you high-level questions about how you use and think about Surf Beach. Assembly Part 2 reported what our engineering and survey teams have learned about shoreline conditions since the kickoff of the Project and shared, for the first time, real design concepts for Surf Beach, and asked the community to weigh in.
If you weren’t able to attend, don’t tune out just yet. Below we’ll walk through what folks learned in person, then give you a chance to weigh in virtually!
How Community Members Engaged
After opening words from Juaneño Band of Mission Indians Acjachemen Chairwoman Edmondson, attendees were invited to move through a self-guided gallery walk of five stations, each covering a different component of the project: a read back of community input to date, big picture design alternatives, and urgent questions about parking and access in the near-term while the long-term project is developed.

What's Next
This Assembly may be over, but the conversation isn't.
If you couldn't make it, or attended and want to revisit a station or your feedback, you can watch the webinar presentation and complete your own virtual community survey. This survey mirrors every exercise from the in-person event and is open through July 12.
Your responses go directly to the Surfrider team and California State Parks as part of the official engagement record.
After the survey closes, we'll combine all comments made, in-person input and survey responses, and ESA’s technical analysis to help guide the design direction moving forward.
Our next Community Assembly, Part 3, is tentatively slated for late summer/early fall of this year. At that meeting our engineering team will present the design recommendation they’ve constructed based on all of the information above.
