Harbor District approves ‘living shoreline’ bid
Since 1994, a 300-foot-long stretch of the West Trail, which provides beach access to Pillar Point, has substantially eroded and needed emergency repairs, according to a report from the San Mateo County Harbor District. Now the Harbor District is doing something about it. … The West Trail Shoreline Protection project calls for the development of a “living shoreline” along the beach. This strategy is meant to provide a more natural ecological solution to erosion and flooding by bringing in native vegetation that blends with the environment and has minimal hard armoring.
