Sprawl Costs Us All
Announcing Sierra Club’s New Executive Director
WE WON
On April 8, the California Coastal Commission approved the annual closure of Pt. La Jolla and most of Boomer Beach May 1 to October 31, for the sea lion pupping season. The Sierra Club Seal Society presented the science and expert testimony to achieve this significant goal. But our work has not ended. The Coastal Commission agreed with the Club that a long term management plan was needed to adress the harassments that take place when the site is open. Our next steps will be to ensure rthe management plan is the best to protect this natural wonder. We also need volunteers to help us as we conduct counts of mothers and pups during the closure and help educate visitors. You can volunteer HERE.
