"I visited San Diego for the first time a few years ago, and it has one of the most beautiful coastlines I've ever seen; I'm grateful to the Coastal Act for protecting spaces like these for 50 years!" 🧵

Nature-based adaptation strategies capitalize on the natural ability of coastal ecosystems to protect coastlines from hazards while also contributing to habitat enhancement, recreation and scenic resource preservation, and carbon sequestration and storage.🧵

Our fearless leaders testified in front of the Assembly Natural Resources Committee in support of ACR 149—celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the passage of the Coastal Act and the Coastal Conservancy Act. Thank you, Amy and Kate! #thankyoucoastalact

Happy Earth Month! Let’s celebrate. You can make a difference by participating in the Adopt-A-Beach® program. When a group "adopts" a beach, they commit to cleaning it at least three times a year, although school groups may fulfill their obligation with just a single cleanup. 🧵

Name that coastal spot.

It was a beautiful day at Lovers Point, Pacific Grove.

At the Piedras Blancas elephant seal viewpoint, a few of the young ones were tussling in the water.

Another contender for “most beautiful.” Can you identify where this was taken?

Over the next 10 years, the State of California will receive $500 million annually from manufacturers to mitigate the environmental and public health impacts of plastic pollution. The Natural Resources Agency is seeking your input on how to equitably allocate that funding.

Yes, I am inviting you to tell me. California coast answers only. (It’s possible there may be many places that are equally as beautiful, it’s not a contest!)

Is there anything more beautiful than this?

It’s a sand dollar day on Morro Strand Beach

Avila Beach

Speak your mind! Every voice matters. At Port San Luis Pier

Who’s the beach for? The beach is for everyone. Especially on this hot, hot March day in Pismo.

The enduring legacy of the Coastal Act is evidenced in the access trails not blocked, the coastal wetlands not filled, the sensitive habitats not destroyed, the farms and ranches not converted to urban uses, and the freeways and gated communities and industrial facilities not built.

Happy Spring. Let’s work together to make it a good one. #ProtectOurCoastAndOcean

Teachers! The California Environmental Education Interagency Network maintains a calendar of environmental education events happening in our state. There are lots of great learning opportunities coming up this spring: www.coastal.ca.gov/publiced/cee...
