Join the Great Coastal Places campaign | by Sarah Ryan


Since the Sierra Club launched the Great Coastal Places campaign to protect California’s coastline from development and pollution, over 5,000 people from all over California have gotten involved.

Thousands of activists wrote letters and spoke on behalf of our great coastal places at Coastal Commission meetings last year. As a result, the Commission twice denied the building of the proposed seawall at Pleasure Point. They prohibited off-highway vehicles on Humboldt Bay’s South Spit, an important nesting ground for the endangered snowy plover. The Coastal Commission continues to move towards a positive protection program for the Hearst Ranch.

Fill out the enclosed insert and come to the next meeting in Santa Cruz, June 24, 7:00 p.m., Louden Nelson Community Center. In Monterey, meet on July 14, 7:00 p.m., Monterey Public Library.

We are making a difference!
