What is Surfers' Point?

What is Surfers' Point?

or

Surfers’ Point: A Case Study in Coastal Management, Ventura California

2012

One might think Surfers' Point is only a surf break.  It is definitely an iconic break, but it is so much more.  In 2012 Ventura Surfrider was given an exhibit space at the Ventura County Fair and we chose to focus on the newly completed managed retreat project at Surfer's Point.  A natural choice since this project is located on the beach right in front of the Ventura County Fair Grounds.  Although there is extensive information on managed retreats and the science of beaches, we couldn't find one concise presentation package that we could display in a static exhibit.  So I created this poster to describe the science behind beach erosion and the history and status of the Surfers' Point Managed Retreat.
