California’s coast belongs to all of us. And today, we have an opportunity to defend it together.

For months, Santa Monica residents have been learning the Coastal Act, organizing, attending hearings, writing letters, and challenging decisions they believed could weaken the protections that have safeguarded our coast for generations.
That included the City’s decision to co-sponsor AB 1740.

There were real disagreements. Residents challenged their elected leaders, and our City Council had to make difficult decisions in public.

But today is bigger than that disagreement.

I am inviting every member of the Santa Monica City Council to join us—to sit shoulder to shoulder with the very residents who challenged the City over AB 1740.

Because today, there is only one side worth opposing, and it isn’t anyone in Santa Monica or Sacramento.

We spent months debating the Coastal Act. Now we have one afternoon to defend it together.

NOAA is holding its only in-person California public meeting on its evaluation of the California Coastal Management Program right here in Santa Monica.

A routine morning at a Malibu state beach took an unexpected turn on Sunday when a military explosive, identified as a 1950s era Super Bazooka round, washed ashore near Naval Base Ventura County and was safely detonated on site.

The unexploded anti tank round was discovered in the sand at Mugu Beach around 10:30 a.m. Beachgoers were immediately cleared from the area while California State Parks Police and the Ventura County Sheriff’s Office responded to secure the scene.

Once again, during a dry weather event we have “DO NOT SWIM” advisories from the Department of Public Health. We should not become desensitized and accept this as the new normal. This impacts our health, economy, and environment. Happy Fourth of July and 250 USA birthday!!! We need to take better care of the planet and each other. Repost

Today AB 1740 was heard at the Senate Natural Resources and Water Committee. Unfortunately the committee was not present to listen to assembly member Zbur speak and could not take a Vote on the Bill. Most of the environmental organizations that oppose the Bill moved to a neutral position, including the California Coastal Commission. Vote will be taken at a later date where it is expected to pass and move forward. TBD #1740

🎯 Once again, nails it from the Los Angeles City Council dais!

🌊 The ocean is under attack from every direction, yet here at home, we continue failing to protect the very coastline that defines us.

⏰ Time and again, convenience is prioritized over preservation, and our marine ecosystem pays the price. Neglect of our coastal areas isn’t just shortsighted; it’s a direct threat to public health, wildlife, biodiversity, and the future of Southern California itself.

‼️ We cannot keep trading away our oceans for temporary ease and expect the damage to disappear with the

If you haven’t heard what’s happening in Southern California, we are dealing with several problems at once! 🫪
➡️Wildfires near radioactive waste sites
➡️Chemical spills in Garden Grove
➡️Oil pipeline bursting in East La

From a communication perspective, the public needs a better way to understand and process the causes and consequences of the many crises that are impacting us all over the world.
