About the Moonstone Beach Project (April 2025)
The Trinidad Coastal Land Trust (TCLT) is excited to launch
the Moonstone Beach Coastal Resilience and Public Access Planning
Project. With generous funding from the California State Coastal Conservancy (https://scc.ca.gov/), this $750,000 project aims to ensure safe, sustainable public access to one of Humboldt County’s most treasured beaches.
“We want to protect the spirit of Humboldt—making sure Moonstone Beach remains accessible and resilient, no matter the challenges ahead,” says Claire Nasr, Executive Director of TCLT. “This project will help safeguard this beautiful space for everyone who enjoys it.”
TCLT will collaborate with expert consultants, tribal partners, local agencies, and the community to design climate-resilient improvements, ensuring long-term public access. Community meetings and listening sessions will be held to gather input from locals and create solutions that reflect the values of the region. This planning initiative marks the first step toward securing funding for climate adaptation efforts at Moonstone Beach.
