Save Ocean Beach

The natural and physical resources of Ocean beach and its adjacent City Dunedin are under threat and you can help!




Above: recent major erosion of the dunes at two thirds to Middles
Below: Marked deterioration of the sand sausages.

Below: Area of proposed dune restoration at Middle Beach



Above: Tommahawk beach.
Below: Proposed areas for sand dune restoration, and storage.


If they put the plan for sand mining and dune restoration at tommahawk on hold due to the project not being able suppy enough sand to remedy the erosion at Middles.. I assume the intention of recontouring the dunes at tommahawk was just a screen for acquiring the sand.. correct me if I am wrong, but was the crux of the project the 'instabilibility of the dunes and need for recontouring? Did not a counciller state in a letter to the editor that none of the sand was going to be used at St Clair or middles anyway?
I'm confused
