Erosion is a common theme, and concern, along our coastal beaches here in Carlsbad, as it is elsewhere here in Southern California.

A new 3 - 4 week project is currently in progress to replenish the sand at Ponto Beach (often referred to as South Carlsbad Beach). Approximately 37,000 cubic yards of sand are being trucked in from an excavation site in Encinitas at Pacific Station (the future site of the Whole Foods Market) during low tide over the next month.
The sand is being donated by the developer, a project set in place more than a year ago, and significant hurdles had to be overcome to gain approval for the project from multiple agencies (e.g., EPA, U. S. Army Corps of Engineers, U. S. Fish and Wildlife Services, the California Coastal Commission). Not everyone is pleased about the replenishment.
Some residents feel it may further disturb existing beach and ocean life, and others see it only as a temporary measure that ultimately will have little or no impact. Fortunately, while the sound and sight of large dump trucks (they say about 100 per day) roaring up and down the beach is disruptive, it is only for a short period and during the winter time when beach visitors are minimal.
