They are how we protect our special coastal places

Budget Victory for Coast

The 2015 State budget includes $3M in funding for the Coastal Commission to partner with local governments to complete and update Local Coastal Programs (LCPs). Surfrider advocated for this funding because LCPs are the backbone of the Coastal Act and how local communities protect our vast coastline. Unfortunately, many coastal communities have not completed their plans and most have not updated their plans in 20-30 years; so the additional funds are much needed and will help the State protect coastal resources at the local level.
