Some people say it needs to come down to return our beaches to their former glory. Others say it is the only thing protecting Long Beach's coast from storms and high waves.
Whatever your opinion on the Long Beach breakwater, you can learn more about a study being conducted on possible changes to the sea wall Wednesday (Nov. 19).
The third and final breakwater workshop will take place Wednesday from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the Aquarium of the Pacific, 100 Aquarium Way. City officials don't just want to inform the public, but they want your input as well.
The workshop will include a brief overview of the Breakwater Reconnaissance Study being conducted, a review of public discussion from the previous two breakwater workshops, and small breakout group discussions. If you missed the first or second breakwater workshops, you can get up to speed by visiting the Breakwater Reconnaissance Study Web site and reviewing materials from the other workshops.
Parking at Wednesday's workshop is $6 at an adjacent structure.
