The story behind the story: I was researching environmental conflicts in Southern California for Amy Wilentz’s "Nature Writing" class and came across articles denouncing the breakwater in Long Beach. After interviewing Ed Hendricks and Robert Palmer of the Long Beach Surfrider Foundation, I knew I had a challenging story to write; there was so much history behind this particular beach.
