A case study in wave protection

The threat

California Coastal Act“[I]t would be difficult to imagine a more

environmentally damaging alternative location for the proposed toll road and one which would be more clearly inconsistent with the environmentally sensitive habitat resource protection requirements contained within Coastal Act Section 30240.”

“No measures exist that would enable the proposed alignment to be found consistent with the Coastal Act.”

Conclusions

Major impacts to a sensitive & highly used natural area

Not consistent with the California Coastal Act.

Inconsistent with other state and federal laws?

Massive public response was the difference

Toll road project rejected by the CA Coastal Commission & US Department of Commerce

The threat isn’t over
