A large project is underway to bring pieces of Morro Rock back to their original location. Up to 10,000 tons of rock will be transported on a barge from Port San Luis to Morro Rock.
The Morro Bay Open Space Alliance purchased Cerrito Peak, also known as Eagle Rock, from the city of Morro Bay in April, a move that will preserve the open space for residents and visitors alike. During the May 11 Morro Bay City Council meeting, nonprofit co-chair Glenn Silloway spoke during public comment, saying that the Alliance had finally finished its project to conserve Eagle Rock by recording a conservation easement agreement with the city on the property s deed. This will bind future owners to keep Eagle Rock as an open space in perpetuity, Silloway said. It s finally a done deal. Within this agreement, the city will retain ownership and continue routine maintenance of the open space.
