NPCA submitted the following position on legislation being considered by the House Committee on Natural Resources Federal Lands Subcommittee ahead of a hearing on May 12, 2016.
NPCA supports H.R. 3565 and H.R. 4233, which would expand the California Coastal National Monument by designating approximately 6,200 acres of existing U.S. Department of the Interior lands as individual units of the monument. National monument status would ensure that each area is managed according to the unique needs of the region, and would enhance the recreational and visitor experience for millions of Americans that visit California’s magnificent coastline each year.
