MALIBU LAGOON RESTORATION PROJECT + EFFECTS ON SURF  Since the late 1990s, a plan has been underway to restore the wetlands in the Malibu Lagoon. The Surfrider Foundation and our West LA / Malibu Chapter has been involved and supportive of this project since the beginning. In recent months controversy over the project has erupted with concerns about the approach being taken to restore the wetlands and also potential impacts the restoration project may have on surfing at Malibu’s famed Surfrider beach.On May 20th, a San Francisco Superior Court judge issued a stay on the project through October 1st, which essentially delays the project for one year because the work can only be done during the summer months to minimize impacts to sensitive species. Many of our members have questions regrading the Malibu Lagoon restoration project. We’ve put together a short set of points outlining our views on this project.
