Gary Griggs, Our Ocean Backyard | Santa Cruz's sanded harbor

"In the first two years following the Santa Cruz Harbor construction, about 600,000 cubic yards of sand accumulated against the west jetty, significantly widening Seabright Beach," writes columnist Gary Griggs. "Wave action soon moved sand around the end of the jetty and deposited it in the entrance channel. Dredging began in 1965 and has been an annual process ever since."
