Sand needed in Calif. city due to eroding beaches

PORT HUENEME, Calif. (AP) — For one California beach city, every grain of sand counts.
Port Hueneme, home to a naval base and about 20,000 residents, is starved for sand because Congress has not allocated enough money to help repair the city's badly eroded beaches, according to the Ventura County Star.

On Wednesday, a 4-pound bag of sand arrived at City Hall from Stockholm, Sweden, sent by a family who recently visited Port Hueneme.

You have my permission to remove the sand from Seal Beach and Huntington Beach!
Take all you need right down to the hard layer!
