Lines in the Sand - A Blog for Surfrider San Diego

The San Diego County coastline is heavily populated in most places. Lines in the sand from beach 'grooming' tractors are more common than nature's beauty, wind driven lines in the sand. Part of that is good because it shows that many people are enjoying our lovely beaches but part of it is bad because it shows we are not taking care of our lovely beaches. That's where Surfrider comes in with a message of CARE - Conservation, Activism, Research and Education. As an organization, sometimes we need to draw lines in the sand on important issues. As a volunteer based organization, Surfrider is you.....so get involved.

The April General Chapter meeting will be at a new location

Our next Chapter Meeting, to be held April 18 at 7 p.m., will NOT be at Forum Hall. Cooley Godward Kronish LLP has generously donated their facilities at 4401 Eastgate Mall for our Chapter Meeting this month. Get directions HERE
Speaking at the meeting will be Michael G. Rhodes, a litigation partner at Cooley who is working with Surfrider Foundation on a pro bono basis in the fight to stop the Toll Road and save Trestles. Mike will update us on the complex legal wranglings of the ongoing lawsuit. Mike will also speak about other pro bono cases he has worked on and about using litigation as a weapon in the fight for social justice.

SAVE TRESTLES

Surfrider is continuing the fight to protect San Onofre/Trestles! One major step in the battle is having elected officials sign the endorsement list; so far, the list is impressive. Taking a stand against the Toll Road through the park are Congressman Bob Filner, Supervisor Pam Slater-Price, Francine Busby, State Senator Christine Kehoe, Assembly members Mary Salas, Lori Saldana and the cities of L.A, Oceanside, I.B, and Laguna Beach. (For more information, see SaveSanOnofre.com).

Studies contradict forecast for O.C. tollway benefits

The controversial Foothill South route proposed through a state park would not greatly ease congestion on Interstate 5, according to new figures. New traffic studies contradict optimistic predictions that a proposed tollway through San Onofre State Beach would eliminate much of the congestion on Interstate 5 in South (Orange) County. Link
