THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
The subcommittee discussed that California’s beach restoration and nourishment program has not been funded for about three years and is inadequate for future climate change impacts. Members questioned whether the Harbors and Watercraft Revolving Fund (HWRF) or the state General Fund should support these efforts, and whether this is the right forum to reshape funding. This signals early-stage planning on how to finance large-scale coastal restoration, where engineering, environmental, and coastal resilience firms can help define scope, costs, and program delivery options.
Discussion mentions Santa Barbara County and broader statewide coastal priorities, with suggestion that DBW retain technical role while General Fund may provide financing.
