Special Electoral Edition Fall 2022
While we are not a political organization and do not endorse any candidate, we do work to keep the public informed of political candidates’ positions on shoreline stabilization issues. To achieve this, we asked each candidate to provide short responses (150 words or less) to the questions posed by SOS Oceanside.
This SOS Oceanside Special Electoral Edition 2022 newsletter includes announcements of an in-person meeting on October 27th, and political candidates’ responses to saving Oceanside’s shoreline!

The Coast Line - SOS Newsletter - Summer 2021
Sand is a precious commodity on Oceanside beaches. The City Council unanimously voted 2 years ago to pursue and fund an engineering study to restore area beaches. A thorough evaluation process ranked characteristics of each of the options to conclude that a groin field best suits the conditions in Oceanside. Lead engineer Brian Leslie from GHD suggested that a pilot project of 4 groins be installed and monitored along the South Strand to establish their effect on sand retention.
