What happened

Construction workers in Long Beach, California, are pumping 415,000 cubic yards of sand from the ocean floor and spreading it across eroded beaches. This effort is part of preparations for potential El Niño storms, aiming to strengthen vulnerable sections of the coast and reduce the effects of powerful waves. Similar storm preparation efforts have been conducted in Malibu.
