URGENT DEADLINE IN TWO DAYS by Saturday, August 22, 2026 before 11:59 pm (PT)!!! Letters needed FROM YOU (email to [email protected] )
—to support saving the CALIFORNIA COASTAL MANAGEMENT PROGRAM from being undermined, weakened, or even possibly decertified by the U.S. Dept. of Commerce or NOAA (National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration)--as has been threatened by the current Trump Administration.
Subject Line of email MUST say “Support for the California Coastal Management Program.”
As a member of the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy (SMMC) Advisory Committee, I learned about this at our recent meeting this week. The SMMC voted to send, via email, a strong letter that can give you some background (see the three page letter below). You need not write a long letter. But please write and email something!
I have placed other references from other organizations, about this same issue, in the comments below to give you more information from which to abstract.
THANK YOU!
