GHD engineer featured on PBS' 'Changing Seas'

GHD Coastal Engineer Daniel Dedina was featured in a recent episode of PBS' 'Changing Seas', discussing an innovative approach to coastal erosion in Oceanside, California. 

The episode explores the development and testing of a proposed offshore reef designed to restore the city's beach while preserving its renowned surf break. Dedina discusses the physical model testing being conducted to evaluate how the reef influences waves, currents, sediment movement and long-term structural stability before advancing toward construction. The testing represents the kind of technical rigor required to validate nature-based solutions that stakeholders can trust.
 
The project demonstrates a novel approach to coastal resilience and beach restoration, with Oceanside helping to advance new solutions for coastal communities facing erosion challenges across California and the US West Coast.
