The next California Coastal Commission meeting will be held March 12-14, 2025, at the Courtyard Marriott Santa Cruz, 313 Riverside Avenue, Santa Cruz, CA 95060. Commission meetings occur once a month in different locations within California to facilitate public participation. Staff attempts, whenever possible, to schedule matters for hearings that will be relatively close to the location of a proposed development. However, legal deadlines for action may require that the hearing on an item takes place in a different area than the proposed project. See the 2025 schedule here: https://lnkd.in/gFcc3qBR #californiacoastalcommission #coastalprotection #coastalaccess #coastalplanning #protectourcoastandocean #californiacoast

Throughout its history, the Coastal Commission has installed hundreds of Coastal Access signs to show people how to get to the coast. It is responsible for many beach stairways, restrooms, parking lots, beach mats, and beach wheelchairs.

The California Coastal Commission is governed by the California Coastal Act. One of the main mandates of the Act is to maximize public access.

The boardwalk protects native dune plants from people walking by while allowing people to access the beach and enjoy the dunes. #coastalaccess #accessiblecoast #californiacoastalcommission #thankyoucoastalact

California Coastal Commission Awards 53 New Whale Tail Grants: https://conta.cc/3Quzyy1 “These Whale Tail grants reflect California’s love for the coast and commitment to protecting it for future generations,” said Coastal Commission Chair Justin Cummings. Since 1998, the Commission has awarded over $25 million to more than 1,000 grants, primarily for projects that provide opportunities for inland, rural, and historically excluded communities to experience and learn about the coast and ocean and develop leadership, stewardship, and science-based skills. In 2021, the Legislature appropriated $10 million for the Whale Tail Grant Program, and this is the final round of grants that will be significantly enhanced by that funding. #whaletailgrants #protectourcoastandocean #californiacoastalcommission #californiacoast WT highlights: https://lnkd.in/gkp2qYpp

One month ago, ferocious wildfires broke out in Los Angeles, killing at least 29 people, forcing more than 200,000 to evacuate, and destroying or damaging more than 18,000 homes and structures. We are proud that the California Natural Resources Agency departments moved so quickly to help Californians in so many ways. www.ca.gov/lafires/ #LAFires #LAStrong California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) California State Parks California Department of Water Resources California Department of Conservation California Conservation Corps California Department of Fish and Wildlife
