The California coastal commission has given approval, for officials at moss landing harbor to begin some repair work. Commissioners had to approve a waiver, before the project to replace damaged pilings could begin. The granting of the waiver clears the way for officials to receive 1-point-5-million dollars, provided by the federal government. The project will include replacing 220-timber-pilings, (which are used to anchor docks), with ones that are made of pre-cast concrete. The damage was incurred during the tsunami surge on march 11th.
