You’re Invited!

Save Oceanside Sand (SOS) and Resilient Cities Catalyst (RCC) are pleased to invite you to an exciting event to celebrate the ongoing journey to restore and preserve Oceanside’s beaches and build a sustainable coastal resilience movement.

We will debut Oceanside’s great work in a BBC mini-documentary, part of their Transforming Cities series that explores Oceanside’s effort to address coastal erosion and beach degradation through a unique, community-driven Design Competition that resulted in the RE:BEACH Oceanside Pilot Project.

The RE:BEACH Pilot has made significant progress, but there’s still a long road to completion ahead and RCC, SOS, and the City of Oceanside are working hard to keep up the momentum!

Who: Save Oceanside Sand and Resilient Cities Catalyst
What: BBC Mini-Doc Screening + Coastal Resilience Discussion + Reception
Where: Sunshine Brooks Theater, 217 N Coast Hwy, Oceanside, CA 92054
When: Sunday, October 12, 2025
3:30-4pm (Check-in), 4-5pm (Program), 5-6pm (Reception)

Additionally, we will announce RCC’s newly launched California Coastal Accelerator, an initiative supporting the advancement of high-impact coastal resilience projects and key leaders in coastal communities across coastal California, including Oceanside’s own Coastal Zone Administrator Jayme Timberlake. The initiative seeks to support local pioneers who are doing interesting, innovative climate work, but face implementation barriers. No community can go on this hard journey alone, so bringing those leading the charge together for support will be essential to saving California’s beaches!

• Jayme Timberlake, City of Oceanside

• Danielle Mieler, City of Alameda

• Sarah McCormick, City of Fort Bragg

• Tiffany Wise-West, City of Santa Cruz

To wrap up the event, SOS and RCC will provide snacks and refreshments for continued celebrations, networking and community building Oceanside community members and others invested in supporting a healthy coastal ecosystem in Oceanside.
