RBOC and the Southern California Yachting Association [SCYA] urge California boaters to contact the California Coastal Commission [CCC] asap and urge that a well-intentioned proposal to improve aquatic ecosystem structure and function for increased habitat biodiversity and ecosystem value within East San Pedro Bay be revised to protect the continued ability of boaters to safely navigate this popular area.
All California boaters should take action - many boaters traveling up and down the coast go into Alamitos Bay. Not to mention racing boats in that area. The risk to them of getting into kelp near the entrance is great. Particularly if the kelp expands.
For the call-to-action with specifics on this issue and details on submitting comments on-line by September 4, requesting to testify by September 10, and testifying on September 11: click here
