A case study in wave protection

5. The threat

7. California Coastal Act
“[I]t would be difficult to imagine a more
environmentally damaging alternative
location for the proposed toll road and one
which would be more clearly inconsistent with
the environmentally sensitive habitat resource
protection requirements contained within
Coastal Act Section 30240.”
“No measures exist that would enable the
proposed alignment to be found consistent
with the Coastal Act.”

9. Conclusions
Major impacts to a sensitive & highly used natural
area
Not consistent with the California Coastal Act.
Inconsistent with other state and federal laws?
Massive public response was the difference
Toll road project rejected by the CA Coastal
Commission & US Department of Commerce
The threat isn’t over
