PROTECTING

OUR COAST:

MANHATTAN BEACH’S OCEAN STEWARDSHIP IN ACTION

Manhattan Beach continues its strong commitment to protecting our coastline, enhancing ocean water quality, and building long-term coastal resilience. Through regional partnerships, infrastructure investments, education, and community engagement, the City is working to safeguard the Santa Monica Bay for current and future generations.

UNDERSTANDING OUR WATERSHED

Everything that flows through our streets eventually reaches the ocean. To help residents and students better understand the connection between local neighborhoods and coastal water quality, the City offers a multi-part educational video series. The series explains:

• What a watershed is

• How the South Santa Monica Bay Watershed functions Manhattan Beach’s role within the broader watershed Regional “Green Streets” efforts

• Human impacts on water quality

• Climate change and coastal resilience

REMEMBER...

To be considered for one of these Commission seats you must be a resident of Manhattan Beach and a registered voter. Applications are available online at www. manhattanbeach.gov/boardsandcommissions APPLICATION DEADLINE

5:00 PM, THURSDAY, APRIL 16, 2026. Board & Commission Interviews will take place on April 28, 2026. Time TBD.

The City Council will consider all applications and appoint members to the Board & Commissions during the May 5, 2026, City Council Meeting.

*The Student Representative must be a Manhattan Beach resident.

**For questions regarding the MBUSD Nominee seat, please contact Heather Hoffman, Executive Assistant at Manhattan Beach Unified School District, at (310) 318-7345 ext. 5902 or via email at HHoffman@mbusd.org

These videos are an accessible way for the community to learn how everyday actions influence the health of our ocean.

MONITORING WATER QUALITY, YEARROUND

The City partners with the Blue Water Task Force to collect and analyze weekly samples from Manhattan Beach—and the program runs all year, even during the offseason. Results help track bacteria levels and identify areas needing attention.

Because water quality can temporarily worsen after rainfall due to increased runoff, residents are encouraged to check current testing results before entering the water.

The City also collaborates with Heal the Bay, whose annual Beach Report Card provides an easy-to-read letter grade for local beaches and updates throughout the year.

REDUCING RUNOFF AND IMPROVING WATER INFRASTRUCTURE

Manhattan Beach continues to invest in stormwater and urban runoff improvements that protect the ocean while supporting long-term water supply needs.

Recent and ongoing initiatives include:

• Redirecting dry-weather storm drain flows into the sanitary sewer system, significantly reducing untreated runoff entering the ocean.

• Achieving zero trash discharge from local storm drains.

• Meeting state stormwater quality goals, including reducing bacteria levels during wet weather and improving metal removal capacity.

• Constructing major infrastructure upgrades, including infiltration systems, trash capture devices, and flood-mitigation improvements.

• Restoring over 3 acres of coastal dunes, creating a “living shoreline” that captures sand naturally and enhances wildlife habitat.

KEY PROJECTS SUPPORTING A HEALTHIER COAST

Several targeted efforts are underway to boost water quality and coastal resilience:

• 28th Street Stormwater Infiltration Project – exploring underground capture systems to filter and reuse stormwater.

• Citywide Trash Capture Project –designing systems that prevent

debris from reaching the ocean.

• Dominguez Channel Watershed Management – installing infiltration features such as dry wells to reduce polluted runoff.

• Beach Cities Green Streets Project –a multi-city collaboration with Redondo Beach, Hermosa Beach, and Torrance to enhance regional stormwater management.

• Dune Restoration Initiative –restoring native dune plants and stabilizing the shoreline as a natural protective buffer.

COMMUNITY MEETING: PACIFIC SEWER LIFT STATION CONVERSION TO GRAVITY LINE

February 25, 2026 6:00 PM City Council Chambers located in Manhattan Beach City Hall 1400 Highland Avenue Manhattan Beach, CA 90266

The City’s Public Works Department is in the final stages of preconstruction activities with contractor Environmental Construction, Inc. to begin the construction of the conversion of the existing Pacific Sewer Lift Station to a gravity line. The project involves demolition of the existing station, installation of manholes, and utilizing trenchless technology to install approximately 900 feet of sanitary sewer gravity line to connect to a Los Angeles County Sanitation District sanitary sewer line at the intersection of Pacific Avenue and North Ardmore Avenue.

For more information about the project, please visit the Pacific Sewer Lift Station Conversion to Gravity Line webpage at www.manhattanbeach.gov/pacific or or e-mail Marzena Laskowska, mlaskowska@manhattanbeach.gov

MANHATTAN BEACH RESIDENTS CONTINUE TO VIEW THEIR CITY EXCEPTIONALLY FAVORABLY, ACCORDING TO RESULTS FROM THE 2025 COMMUNITY OPINION SURVEY.

The survey of 588 residents, conducted by True North Research in late September and early October, found that 96% of residents rated the overall quality of life in Manhattan Beach as excellent or good. Additionally, 87% expressed satisfaction with the City's performance in providing municipal services.

“These results are truly exceptional and reflect the hard work of our entire team,” said City Manager Talyn Mirzakhanian.

“When 96% of residents rate our quality of life as excellent or good, and we see significant improvements in how safe people feel in our community, it shows we're moving in the right direction. We're energized by this feedback and committed to maintaining this momentum.”

KEY FINDINGS:

• 94% of residents feel Manhattan Beach is a safe place to live, with a significant increase in those rating the City as "very safe" Highest service satisfaction scores were for graffiti removal (98%), fire protection (97%), and emergency medical services (97%)

• Top spending priorities identified by residents include fixing potholes and street repairs (92% high or medium priority), improving park maintenance (87%), and upgrading sewer systems (79%)

• 81% of residents are satisfied with the City's communication efforts, up from 75% in 2021

When asked what they like most about Manhattan Beach, residents most frequently cited the small-town feel and beach community vibe, proximity to the ocean, and the City's safety and low crime rate.

The survey results will help guide City Council decisions on budget priorities, service improvements, and policy matters in the coming fiscal year. The complete survey report is available on the City's website.

LEAF BLOWERS REMAIN PROHIBITED IN MANHATTAN BEACH

The use of all mechanical leaf blowers (gas, battery, electric) for any purpose is prohibited.

Manhattan Beach continues to enforce its ban on the use of all mechanical leaf blowers including gas, battery, and electric models under Municipal Code M.B.M.C. 5.48.330. This ordinance is designed to protect our community's air quality, public health, and peace.

WHY THE BAN MATTERS

Leaf blowers can stir up harmful airborne particles such as pollen, pesticides, mold, spores, animal waste, and heavy metals like lead and mercury. This ban helps protect the general public from pollution caused by airborne particles.

MINDFUL STRETCHING

55 and up

Res: $60 Nonres: $66 (10 Weeks)

This class begins with stretching followed by mindfulness for 20 minutes. Stretching is vital as it lengthens and elongates muscles, improving flexibility and elasticity. Stretching has many benefits, including improving posture, decreasing back pain, and preventing injury. Our mindfulness portion will allow us to drop down into stillness with an emphasis on breath and presence. Mindful awareness adds insight to our overall existence. The practice increases vitality, encourages health and wellness, decreases stress, promotes inner peace and calm, and has even been proven to reduce blood pressure and boost immune function. This combination of stretching and mindfulness practice will leave you feeling relaxed, calm, and serene.
