Unspoiled Beaches Nearby. Just Because I Cannot Go There To Locklin, Linda@Coastal Flom: Christine Fimbres <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, April 17, 201.9 l-2:28 PM To: Coastal Hollister Ranch Subject: Hollister For 70 years I have loved the beach since going as a child to contemplate the beauty and meaning in life--especially impactful was gazing at the horizon meeting the sea. Now I view most beaches in sorrow at the wanton trashing by my compatriots. Look anywhere, the carelessness and filth spread by so many people is undeniable, despite Susan Jordan's claim that "we all care about the environmentrr. The Coastal Commission may "have decades of experience" protecting "balance" at Big Sur precisely because it is so remote. To describe the public's activities at Joshua Tree and Elsinore is NOT demonization, -iust admission of obvious fact. Perhaps the Coastal Comm thinks those "elites" at Hollister are "no better than any other human being," but they are obviously cleaner and better stewards than the general public. I am grateful there are still some unspoiled beaches nearby. Just because I cannot go there to "enjoy" (with all the traipsing about involved), the idea that such places exist: it is reassuring and nourishing to the spirit.

Overview The City Pro.lect applauds the California Coastal Commission, State Coastal Conservancy, State Lands Commission, and Department of Parks and Recreation for your agreement to develop a contemporary Hollister Ranch coastal access program. We look fonvard to working with you and the people of California to develop and implement the plan for coastal access and environmental justice. We submlt these comments in support of the collaboration agreement and its implementation.l We recommend two additional reports as starting points for analysis. One, the Coastal Commission's 2019 Environmental Justice Policy and Report provide a blueprint for implementation at Hollister with support of an Ranch. The Commission unanimously adopted the Policy and Report, lhe . unprecedented group of diverse alliei, at a historic hearing in Los Angeles on March 8,2019.2 Two, the 2004 National Parks Service study ofthe Gaviota Coast describes best practices for a coastal access program at Hollister Ranch that is fair, fiscally responsible, environmentally and economrcally- sound, and complies with state and federal environmental justice and civil rights laws and principles.3 These three documents together - the Collaboration Agreement, the Commission's Policy and Report, and the NPS Study - offer a remarkable opportunity to develop and implemenl a coastal access program al Hollister Ranch. The City Project is committed to working with the four agencies to broaden and diversify public engagement in, and support for, this goal. Section B summarizes coastal access, environmental justice, and civil rights authorities relevant to the collaboration agreement. Seciion C discusses the Hollister Ranch background and demo,graphics.

    Santa Barbara South Coast FAQS following the Thomas Fire and Montecito Mudslide (Dec. 2017-Jan. 2018) TRAVEL CONDITIONS How can I get the most current information on travel conditions in Santa Barbara? Visit Santa Barbara’s travel advisory page is updated regularly and includes the most current information to guide travelers: http://www.santabarbaraca.com/travel HOW TO HELP How can we help the communities of Santa Barbara and Montecito? Visit Santa Barbara is heartbroken for the families, neighbors and businesses in Montecito impacted by the December Thomas Fire and subsequent January 9, 2018 mudslide (also known as the 1/9 debris flow). However, our community spirit is stronger than ever. There are many excellent local nonprofits raising funds either directly for those impacted or through charitable organizations that serve them. Several are listed on our travel advisory page: http:// www.santabarbaraca.com/travel One of the absolute best ways to support our community is for visitors to come experience the special place that the Santa Barbara South Coast is—including the cities and towns of Santa Barbara, Montecito, Goleta and Summerland. While the majority of area businesses were not damaged, many experienced significant loss of income during both the Thomas Fire and the temporary Highway 101 closure. We encourage you to visit our hotels and restaurants, shop at local retailers, and explore the many attractions The American Riviera has to offer. With support of our visitors, we look forward to brighter days ahead in Santa Barbara. CONDITIONS IN SANTA BARBARA Have the mudslides in Montecito and Thomas Fire affected Santa Barbara? The main impacts from the mudslides and fire are isolated to the remote mountains above Montecito, where the Thomas Fire took place in December 2017, as well as the Montecito area, where the mudslides and flooding took place on Jan.

In my visits and phone conversations with RESOURCES & various federal, state, and local government staff, the one thing folks are unanimous PUBLICATIONS about is that we really just don’t know what to expect. So for now, we play a game of wait and see while internally strategizing new ways to continue moving our various POTPOURRI missions forward.

  • Spring 2012 Newsletter
    spring 2012 newsletter EDC CELEBRATES 35TH ANNIVERSARY ! INSIDE THIS ISSUE: In 1977, a forward-thinking group of individuals, led by J. Marc McGinnes and the Santa Barbara Citizens for Carone Oil Project Environmental Defense, conceived of the Environmental Defense Center (EDC) as the “link between citizen intention and citizen action.” As the founders noted in the aftermath of the 1969 Santa Barbara Oil Spill, Whales & Shipping Gaviota Coast Plan "If left to their own priorities, government and business, for whatever their reasons, will surely continue to allow the destruction of the natural structure of the planet. Simultaneously they will, apparently, create MPAs-New Underwater Parks and build increasingly dangerous energy facilities with less safety testing and less concern for future ramifications." Santa Rosa Island Goleta Heritage In the wake of the Deepwater Horizon tragedy, and others over the years, it is clear that citizen action is as Farmland Initiative critical now as it was 35 years ago. As our founders believed so passionately, “someone must watchdog the actions of local government and industry.” EDC was formed to empower citizen watchdogs “to protect Sea Otters themselves and their communities” by serving as “the legal action arm of the environmental community,” Steelhead Recovery providing an “environmental law resource center,” “practical training in citizen advocacy,” and “a mechanism by Plan which citizens can participate in the shaping of environmental policies in their community.” Bottom line: “As Conejo Creek current environmental laws are breached, or attempts are made to preempt local decision-making, the Center’s litigating function will be activated.” Ormond Beach Rincon Grubb- Clean With the help of our clients and partners, EDC has fulfilled our founders’ dreams by responding to the needs of Water Act our community.

  • Forging a New Path
    FORGING A NEW PATH, SWEET BRIAR TURNS TO THE FUTURE Dear Sweet Briar Alumnae, Throughout this spring semester, distinguished women musicians, writers and policy makers have streamed to the campus, in a series dubbed “At the Invitation of the President.” As you will read in this issue, the series started in January with a remarkable all-women ensemble of scholar-performers dedicated to excavating little-known string trios from the 17th and 18th century, and it ended the semester with a lecture by Bettina Ring, the secretary of agriculture and forestry for the Commonwealth. Sweet Briar was a working farm for most of its history, a fact that does not escape the secretary, both as an important legacy we share and cherish, but also as a resurgent possibility for the future — for Sweet Briar and Central Virginia. Through this series, one learns stunning things about women who shape history. A gradu- ate of Sweet Briar, Delia Taylor Sinkov ’34 was a top code breaker who supervised a group of women who worked silently — under an “omerta” never to be betrayed in one’s lifetime — to break the Japanese navy and army codes and eventually to help win the Battle of Midway. Ultimately, the number of code breakers surpassed 10,000. While America is a country that loves and shines light on its heroes, women have often stayed in the shadow of that gleaming light; they are history’s greatest omission. “Do you like doing the crossword puzzle?” Navy recruiters would ask the potential code breakers. “And are you engaged to be married?” If the answer to the former was a “yes” and to the lat- ter a “no,” then the women were recruited to the first wave of large-scale intelligence work upon which the nation would embark.
