The LA Times reporter Bob Poole explores the peril facing Broad Beach’s celebrity residents in his article “Malibu residents seek a narrow escape for Broad Beach” (February 2, 1010).
The full moon at its closest point to earth illuminated and exasperated the recent erosion of the coastline on Malibu beaches. One of the most impacted beaches has been the celebrity inhabited Broad Beach (now a misnomer) which has lost so much sand it is posing a threat to multi-million dollar beach homes on its shore. Yesterday, work began on a $4,000,000 sea wall which will be 4100 feet long to mitigate the damage until a long term project to dredge up sand restore the beach can be put in motion. The project began by stockpiling the huge rocks at the west end of Zuma beach where the huge cranes have been housed.
City Councilman Andy Stern cited the pubic health hazard of erosion which can unearth septic systems as the reason for the rapid action to shore up the beach. The 8 foot high rock sea wall, when completed will protect the residents, Pierce Brosnan and Steve Spielberg among them, from the rising water threatening their beach front homes.
