COAST cont’d from page 1
In 1976 the Commission was permanently extended with the adoption of the Coastal Act. For more than 40 years every city and county in California which lies along the coast has been required to have a Local Coastal Plan. These plans are to be responsive to each local community while still adhering to the special policies in state law to protect the coast while guaranteeing public access.
It is extremely important for people to get into the details of any proposed changes to the LCP.
  It’s our responsibility to make sure it remains consistent with state law and th wishes of the local population. Serious public involvement is critical to make the process work well. So here we go...let’s not fail those who worked so hard to preserve the coast.
  You can find all you need to know by spending some time on these websites:
• Sonoma County Permit & Resource Management Department (PRMD):
www.sonomacounty.ca.gov and click on Local Coastal Plan
• California Coastal Commission: www.coastal.ca.gov
• Wikipedia – search California Coastal Act Proposition 20
Now, Let’s Make Some History and Keep Care of OUR Coast.
