Rasta and Transparentsea are sailing down the coast. First stop, Gaviota coast.

The Transparentsea crew have started their one month odyssey. They are sailing from north of Santa Barbara and heading to Baja, Mexico. They are sailing to highlight coastal issues and the plight of marine mammals. One of their first stops is the gorgeous Gaviota Coast.

During their stop in Santa Barbara they met with our local activist maven Sandy Lejeune.

Here Rasta and Sandy connect holding up the campaign T (pick one up on Swell).

You can engage in this campaign, sign the petition here Save Gaviota.

If that's not enough the crew, including Angus Stone, wrote and recorded a song about the 20 miles of Gaviota coast. Check that out here.

NAPLES ACTION ALERT! Come show your support for saving Naples!!

On Tuesday, June 23 the Board of Supervisors is holding a hearing to consider the County's next steps concerning the processing of the Naples project. The Naples Coalition and Surfrider Foundation have reviewed the Staff Report and developed a letter describing the specific steps we are asking the Board to take. Supporters are asked to attend. Given the complex technical issues involved, non-speaking support at the hearing is sufficient. Public comment should be limited to expressions of support for saving Naples and endorsement of the testimony of the Naples Coalition and Surfrider Foundation representatives.
