EAC has a long history of state, local, and federal coastal advocacy on behalf of our coastal communities. We understand the importance of protecting our lands, waters, and biodiversity. We need your help today to protect our coast!
The Issue
EAC needs your help to submit comments concerning Assembly Bill 2754. This legislation is intended to amend the 1976 Coastal Act by redefining the definition of "development" to exclude "ongoing agricultural" activities. If AB 2754 is approved, it would be the first time in 40 years since the passage of the Coastal Act that the legislature has unilaterally declared certain activities exempt from the Coastal Act. This would set an irreversible precedent and result in additional requests from industries seeking similar exemptions that would further threaten our coastal resources.
Next Steps
EAC opposes this bill and needs your voice to submit opposition to the California Assembly Natural Resources Committee by April 18th!
To submit your comments, please complete the form below, you will be routed to an email template that will send directly to the staff of the Natural Resources Committee and our Assemblymember, Marc Levine.
IMPORTANT! In the letter it is important to personalize. Let the Natural Resources Committee know why you value our coastal resources and that it is critical that we have checks and balances like the Coastal Act to ensure long-term protections. As Peter Douglas said, "the coast is never saved, it's always being saved."
Comments due April 18th!
