Over 675 letters supporting reconfiguration of the Long Beach Breakwater have been collected in one week.

"What a great way for our city to show its support for clean water and world-class beaches!" said Councilamn Robert Garcia, who launched a letter campaign to demonstrate local support for the proposed reconfiguration, which is being reviewed by the Army Corps of Engineers.

The councilman said the Army Corps of Engineers should announce in the next few weeks an official decision on federal interest to move forward.
