We have been engaged in advocating to protect coastal resources and engaging in public processes related to ranch management in the Point Reyes National Seashore (Seashore) for several years. Most recently, on November 16th, our Interim Executive Director, Ashley Eagle-Gibbs, gave testimony on the National Park Service (NPS)’s Water Quality Strategy Report (Report) submitted to the California Coastal Commission (Commission). At the meeting, several others spoke to raise their concerns about water quality in the park.
The Report was submitted to the Commission under the federal consistency determination process, whereby the NPS agreed to submit an annual water quality report to the Commission.
