Advocates for the environment, equity, and justice working to ensure transparency and accountability in governance of the California coast.
What is ActCoastal?
ActCoastal is a campaign to protect California’s coast and the public’s right to access it by ensuring transparency and accountability for the actions of the California Coastal Commission and other government agencies. To ensure the Coastal Commission upholds the Coastal Act, a landmark environmental law passed in 1976, we track and report on the monthly voting record of the 12 members of the Commission for select issues of significant consequence to coastal conservation, environmental justice and public access. These monthly vote charts are compiled in the annual Coastal Commission Report Card that has been published for over 20 years.

The Coastal Commission met in Ventura on March 10 and 11 for a compact but action-packed two-day meeting. The Commissioners earned three Pro-Coast votes, including an enforcement agreement to protect a critically endangered mouse in Dana Point. But they also incurred their first Anti-Coast vote of 2026 by approving a major Ventura County LCP amendment that gives too many concessions to beach-killing seawalls.
