February Hearing Report
The Coastal Commission’s February hearing took place in Long Beach at Long Beach City Hall on Wednesday, February 13 through Friday, February 15. The meeting was the first of 2020 and several important votes took place. The Commission denied a proposed 1,250 ft. revetment at Strands Beach in Dana Point, denied a proposed fence that would block a coastal trail in Pacific Grove and approved a key consent cease and desist order and administrative fine for the Tivoli Cove HOA that will restore access to Latigo Beach in Malibu. The meeting resulted in one vote chart. Read the full meeting blog on the ActCoastal home page.

California King Tides in 2020
Since 2010, people have joined the California King Tides Project in taking and sharing photos of the highest high tides of the year and their impact on the shore. In California, our first king tides took place on January 10 and 11 and again on February 8 and 9. The King Tides Project collects photos of the coast during the king tides to demonstrate the impact rising seas will have on our coast through a citizen science initiative. The Project now has a really cool, interactive map of photos from the entire California coast - View the 2020 California King Tides Photo Map.
You can also see several videos of the 2020 California king tides on the ActCoastal YouTube channel, including in South Orange County and Oceano Dunes State Vehicular Recreation Area.
