📰 News we're reading

• Massive King Harbor Breakwater Undergoing $6.8M Repair (patch.com) — Redondo Beach residents are seeing a major $6.8 million repair effort on the massive King Harbor breakwater, with work underway since June and now expected to run into mid-November. Crews are resetting armor stones and adding thousands of tons of new rock to maintain the structure's protective power, while the city and Army Corps coordinate to keep harbor access, nearby parking, and Moonstone Park use as open and safe as possible.
   

• Redondo Beach city council moves ahead with Seaside Lagoon plan (easyreadernews.com) — Redondo Beach's City Council has voted to move ahead with a $10 million state‑funded overhaul of Seaside Lagoon, sending a revised freshwater, shallower design to the Coastal Commission despite a unanimous Harbor Commission request to pause. Supporters cite safety, environmental compliance, and lower operating costs, while critics worry about losing the lagoon's saltwater character and long‑term sea‑level resilience, as debate continues over possible future wave‑pool partnerships.
   

• Cybersecurity / Anti Tamper Threat and Design Modeling (verticalmag.com) — Northrop Grumman is hiring a senior cybersecurity and anti-tamper modeling expert who can choose Redondo Beach as a home base, working on advanced aircraft systems and digital engineering. The role requires deep experience, a Top Secret clearance, and offers a high salary range, potentially bringing another well-paid technical professional into the local workforce and economy.
