ENVIRONMENTAL ACTION COMMITTEE of WEST MARIN
EAC… protecting the wildlands, wildlife, wilderness, and watersheds of West Marin.
The Environmental Action Committee of West Marin is a tenacious, non-profit grassroots group founded in 1971 to protect West Marin’s natural environment and rural character. Over the years, we’ve fought off countless ill-conceived developments and protected scores of beloved places.
But EAC does more than fight: we have carried out many constructive projects that bring members of our community together to protect West Marin, and we also offer numerous opportunities for our members to discover and learn more about the places we care for.
If you love West Marin’s spectacular natural spaces, join the Environmental Action Committee of West Marin now! With your help, we will protect West Marin and preserve it for future generations.
Please visit the Save Point Reyes Wilderness website to help protect the only congressionally designated marine wilderness area on the West Coast.
Oil Spill Protection Initiative
EAC’s Oil Spill Prevention and Marine Protection Initiative began in January 2013 to ensure that the high standards of California’s oil spill law are met, and that the oil and cargo shipping industry take full responsibility for the risk that they create to our irreplaceable coastal and ocean resources.
Interior Secretary Affirms Wilderness Status at Point Reyes National Seashore
In a watershed decision for national parks and wilderness areas, Interior Department Secretary Ken Salazar announced today that he will uphold the 1976 Point Reyes Wilderness Act and protect the National Seashore’s ecological heart, Drakes Estero. Salazar declined to issue a new permit for a controversial commercial oyster operation in the biologically rich estuary, thereby affording it the nation’s highest resource protection status and creating the West Coast’s first marine wilderness area.Interior Secretary Salazar's Legal Memo Upholding Drakes Estero Wilderness Designation
