Subject Line: Public Comment on Agenda Item 14b: Support a Stronger De Anza Natural Amendment
I am [INSERT NAME], a supporter of ReWild Mission Bay, and I urge the California Coastal Commission to approve the De Anza Natural Amendment once the City of San Diego incorporates the Coastal Commission staff recommendations. The recommendations I believe are especially important include:
* Greater research on the project's impacts and long-term management.
* Enforceable policy standards for habitat protection, monitoring, adaptive management, water quality, and other environmental safeguards throughout the life of the project.
* Meaningful and ongoing involvement of Native American communities in land evaluation, planning, interpretation, and the protection of cultural resources.
These recommendations will strengthen the amendment and help ensure the project delivers lasting benefits for both the San Diego community and the wildlife that depend on Mission Bay. I also appreciate the Commission staff's recommendations to improve habitat protections, strengthen stormwater management, address sea level rise, and maintain public access to our shared shoreline.
I encourage the City of San Diego to incorporate the Commission staff's recommendations and resubmit the De Anza Natural Amendment so it can move forward with a stronger, more effective plan that reflects our shared commitment to restoring and rewilding Mission Bay.
Thank you for the opportunity to comment. I look forward to seeing the De Anza Natural Amendment approved and ReWild Mission Bay become a reality.
