MEET THE TEAM
Save Oceanside Sand was founded in the Spring of 2019 by three dedicated and concerned citizens of Oceanside, California, all of whom are not beachfront property owners. Recognizing the urgent need for action, SOS Oceanside quickly evolved and organized into a committed group of local advocates who passionately support permanent and effective solutions for habitat restoration through beach sand nourishment and retention initiatives.
SOS Oceanside continues to provide valuable outreach and comprehensive education concerning our critical shoreline conditions as well as the potential solutions that can help preserve and protect our precious coastal environment for future generations.
