LONG BEACH — The Long Beach City Council voted March 12 to spend $2.8 million and pay for the majority of a study of the Long Beach Breakwater, in an effort to advance the ongoing discussion of whether to reduce the harbor’s breakwater size.
The Long Beach Breakwater Reconnaissance Study (formally titled the “East San Pedro Bay Ecosystem Restoration Study”) was completed in July 2009. The reconnaissance study is just one of the initial stages that could potentially lead to reconfiguring the breakwater or making other changes.
