International design firms will work with city on program to restore and shore up beaches depleted by erosion
A jury of experts has selected three teams as finalists to design a system that will restore and retain sand on Oceanside’s eroding beaches.
Since then, Oceanside has taken a more inclusive approach. It created the competition for what it says will be an innovative and collaborative project, and recruited experts and representatives from other cities for an advisory panel and a jury to judge the entries. It also has played down the possibility of building structures on the beach and said that any solution chosen must not harm its down-coast neighbors.
The chosen teams are: SCAPE Landscape Architecture with the Dredge Research Collaborative; Deltares with Deltares USA and MVRDV; and International Coast Management. “This is far more than just a technical solve,” said Sam Carter of Resilient Cities Catalyst, one of Oceanside’s consultants for the project. “By including the points of industry leaders from different parts of the globe, these competitors are taking part in a big picture approach that will set our beaches up to evolve with the changing climate.”
SANDAG has begun initial planning for a third regional replenishment project like the ones the planning agency completed in 2001 and 2012. That effort is just beginning, and so far has no funding for construction, which has been estimated at $37 million.
