SOS is the local grassroots, community advocacy nonprofit organization that prompted the City of Oceanside to begin sustainably restoring its beaches. Recently, SOS was honored with a “Heroes of Oceanside & Camp Pendleton” award from the Oceanside Chamber of Commerce. SOS is the only community nonprofit organization advocating for sustainable beach restoration in San Diego County.
