It's been a multi-year process to get to this point and it would not be possible without the help of BEACON, a joint-powers authority, to coordinate a regional environmental impact report (EIR) that saved it's member municipalities tens of thousands of dollars. It also would not be possible with out the help from other great groups like Community Environmental Council, Santa Barbara Coastkeeper, Environmental Defense Center, Save The Mermaids, and the great activists with the Surfrider Foundation Santa Barbara Chapter.
