ActCoastal is a campaign to protect California's coast and the public's right to access it by holding the California Coastal Commission accountable to its mission. Each month, we track and report on the Commission's most consequential votes on coastal conservation, environmental justice, and public access — rating each decision pro-coast or anti-coast — so Californians can judge whether their Commissioners are living up to the public trust and the promises of the Coastal Act. These monthly voting reports inform an annual report card that has been published continuously for over 20 years.
The Commission touched down in San Diego June 10-11 with a need for speed, clearing a two-day agenda instead of the usual three. They earned a Pro-Coast vote via approval of San Diego County's interim fix for the transborder sewage fumes that have plagued south San Diego communities for years.
