'In California, by definition, the beach is a birthright,' said Sean Anderson, an ecologist at California State University Channel Islands. 'It's how we define ourselves.'

Coastal law and policy experts seem to agree that Newsom has the right to shut down beaches for a global pandemic. But some have a problem with uneven access.

But at some beaches in California, officials have used parking to try to regulate crowds. One effect is that people who live at the coast have the cherished resource all to themselves. The California Coastal Act passed in 1976 ensures public access to the beach, limits coastal development and offers environmental protections near the ocean.

But that's different from allowing people in Ventura County to hit the beach and prohibiting people in the next county, Los Angeles, from doing so.The patchwork of beach closures has frustrated Californians in need of a saltwater fix, and it appears people from L.A. County are traveling north to Ventura County to get it.

Csu channel islands? Wtf is that?

People have a good idea of what the leftist ideology is all about. This is what we constantly fight against. They want total control of you. In everything. The GOP is about having gov't help you keep your rights...LIFE, LIBERTY, AND THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS.

For white people.

Don’t be stupid

So what?

Where are a couple hungry Great White Sharks when you need them?

Expecting Gov Newsome to send police to the beaches at anytime now? Don’t hold your breath.

OMG you freaking crybabies. It’s the beach. It’ll be there for millions of years. Protect your fellow statesman or sign a DNR.

No, it's not you moron.

It can also be a graveyard

Florida too

BIRTHRIGHT?!?! NoDAPL waterislife THE NATIVE AMERICANs would like a word.....

Sean Anderson, careful, your privilege is showing.

I define them as rows and rows of body bags.

Wtf

Do people really listen to what they are saying?

I really hate the beach. It’s sticky, uncomfortable, no escape from the melting sun. Unless you’re a surfer I don’t understand how people just like to go hang out at the beach. Pools are awesome, the beach yuck

birthright? NO one gave you right to harm other

🤦🏻‍♀️omg, I don’t think so. I certainly don’t.

I don't think you know what 'by definition' means.

That’s not how “by definition” works

Whoooaaa we just like to , you know, like surf brah, it's our identity

Mr Anderson assumes everyone is just like him

Really how about the rights of your family members or friends, if you get sick and while not showing symptoms you infect and kill one of your own. ABC CBSNews CNN MSNBC

Don’t make all of us Californians sound so shallow. Many more of us are keeping our community and family safe by staying home right now.

Sick of the whining, too. Many of us are chronically ill; we've lost independence, ability to eat whatever we want or do things others take for granted. A good day is if I can walk around my yard alone. We had to accept the loss of life as we knew it. Grow up, this is temporary.

Rhode islander here to say StayHome the beaches will be there when this is over. I spend every weekend possible at the beach but now is not the friggin time

I’m ok with it, as long as you assume all the risks and responsibilities associated with your decision. Unfortunately, if you get infected, innocent bystanders will be at risk.

Annnnd that's the difference between California and Oregon. Right there. My local beach is closed and I'm not pissy about it ffs.

URTURT

When are people going to understand that we are fighting a WAR right now! Let’s all enjoy are personal freedoms again AFTER we win the war against this virus. STOP your whining and DO YOUR PART by STAYING HOME!

Not anymore, back to your studio apartments untermensch

University?

Whatever. My tolerance for this ridiculousness is over. Stop whining and StayHome.

That is right, but not during Corona Virus pandemic. A sick infected can spread viruses to hundreds.

In Brazil, beachfront is also a right of the people, a millionaire can’t buy beach front there, they can buy the property but the public has rights to use that beach front. Way to go california capolitics
