As noted in our recent post, Under Siege: California's Coastal Commission and the Fight for Public Beach Access, federal officials and state electeds have threatened to undermine the Coastal Act. For anyone who benefits from a safe, accessible, healthy coast in California – which is everyone! – the time is now to remind lawmakers to stand up for California's coast.
Surfrider is here to help with that! We're hitting the road on April 19 and making our way from San Diego County to Humboldt to give voice to all the people who love and value our beaches. Each stop will offer opportunities to talk about your favorite beach and how the Coastal Act protects it, and ways to take action to ensure your access and that protection continue.
