The berm is about to go up again! Construction of the berm is scheduled to begin as early as November 18, 2013. We have written a petition which states the following:

We are opposed to the 10-15 foot sand wall/sand berm that is scheduled to be constructed in November 2013 on the beach in Marina del Rey and Venice.  It obstructs our views of the ocean, blocks beach access and may disrupt the marine ecosystem. These negative consequences impact both residents and businesses in the area.

If County of LA Beaches and Harbors wants to protect public parking lots and bathroom facilities, which is the only reason the sand wall is constructed, they need to find an alternative method that works with the needs of the community.
