Save Our Shores

The California Coastal Act turns 50 this year—and our coast wouldn’t be what it is today without it 🌊

From protecting public access to preserving wildlife and coastal ecosystems, this landmark law has shaped the places we know and love. Now we want to hear from you: Why does the coast matter to you?

Take our quick survey and share your voice 💙: https://forms.gle/eZkZZ5d3Ajn3ibgY9

🤝 We’re still in this, and we need you all in it with us!

⁉️ You’re not alone if you’re feeling lost in the process. Here’s where we’re at: We’re in our second opportunity to submit comments.

In this phase, we strongly encourage any business or organization that would be impacted by offshore oil drilling to submit a comment/letter saying, “My business/organization strongly opposes opening ANY lease sites in the proposed areas of the current offshore oil drilling plan.” and name specific potential impacts - talking points and examples on the Save Our Shores webpage and sample letter through Surfrider Foundation Santa Cruz.

⚡️ Why keep commenting in opposition if it feels like we’re not being heard? We need the number of opposing comments to remain high throughout the process. In the case that overwhelming opposing comments aren’t taken into consideration in the proceeding phases of development, we have proof of opposition to tally up. This ultimately builds a case for legal intervention.
