Studies related to the nearshore berm beach nourishment project and resolutions in support of the City’s application for funding through the state’s Beach Maintenance Reimbursement Fund highlighted the Monday, July 23 meeting of the SPI Shoreline Taskforce.

Hill displayed charts showing the topography of the sea floor in the designated areas before and after the sand was deposited.
