3 Saving the Oceano Dunes – For The Public Permit# 82-300 Feb 2015 Oceano Dunes SVRA 3 In my life time, I have witnessed beach camping and acreage reduced dramatically! 2015 Beach camping reduced from pole 7.5 to pole 6 Enlarged Snowy Plover exclosures 40 acres closed and planted near Oso Flaco lake Camping area closed for 7.5 Vegetation Island to protect a bathroom that was never installed Numerous areas closed for wind monitors Many other threats continue

4 Saving the Oceano Dunes – For The Public Permit# 82-300 Feb 2015 Oceano Dunes SVRA 4 As I go off to college, I worry about more closures As I plan my future, I wonder if I will be able to camp at the Oceano Dunes with my kids or grandkids Please Help Me! Guarantee that the Coastal Act will protect my right to camp and recreate at the Oceano Dunes and for our next 3 generations Reward the success that has occurred, and return balance to the SVRA by restoring the acreage back to it’s original size Establish a “No Net Loss” philosophy, so if there needs to be studies or areas developed for mitigation that other areas are opened so there is no more loss of camping and recreation.
