Save Trestles and San Onofre

オレンジカウンティーの有料道路構想計画。

トラッセルズやサンオノフレを守るためにこれまで抗議デモが続いてきたが、



６日にデルマーフェアグラウンドで行われたヒアリングで、ついにこの建設案が否決されました。これはその瞬間の映像です。↓



俺も反対派として署名していたのでこの結果にストークし、現実を知って自分なりの行動を起こすことの大切さを改めて思い知らされた。

これで次世代の子供たちもにこにこでこの至福波を楽しめるわけですね。

守るべきものは守っていきましょう！

Dear Todd,

Yesterday was a great day for the coast!! The California Coastal Commission voted 8‐2 to reject the planned 241 Toll Road and to protect Trestles and San Onofre State Beach. Thousands turned out for this historic meeting in Del Mar, making it clear to the commissioners that the destruction of state parks and coastal resources is unacceptable.

The record‐breaking crowd was comprised of a diverse cross‐section of beach users including surfers, students, families, seniors, fishermen as well as a large number of Native American tribal representatives. Also on hand was a massive contingent from the surf industry, including various manufacturers, shapers, media representatives and pro athletes.

“Our supporters have logged countless volunteer hours on this campaign over the last several years,” said Moriarty. “Last night’s decision was an incredible affirmation for their efforts, and a testament to the power of grassroots activism.”

Many of you sent letters to the Commission and to the Governor asking that this road be blocked. Many of you told the Commission on YouTube to protect our state park and beach. And many of you showed up to the meeting prepared to demonstrate to the commission and the world that our parks and coasts are not to be destroyed.

Of course Surfrider Foundation didn't do this alone. We want to thank our partners with the Sierra Club, CA State Parks Foundation, Natural Resources Defense Council, Endangered Habitats League, Sea and Sage Audubon Society, Defenders of Wildlife, WildCoast and countless others.

While this decision is likely not the death knell for the toll road we would like, there will be a major uphill battle for them to overcome. We will be there at every step to trip them up and we will need your continuing support. If you haven't, please consider joining Surfrider Foundation and getting involved in your local chapter.

Thank you for protecting the coast.

Sincerely,

Mark Rauscher

Assistant Environmental Director
Surfrider Foundation
