You forgot to mention Jason Segel standing naked in front of a Heal the Bay sticker on the fridge in Forgetting Sarah Marshall.

This problem must be addressed, I live next door to Paradise cove and have been infected numerious times. My Father died from septic shock due to ecoli. When will the restaurant stop illegally expanding? When will the moble homes have individual water meters installed so that there is a motivation to cycle less water through the septic system? When will this health issue be resolved?

Not sure why you’re blaming Board staff for the decrease in fines. Based on your own June 11th blog entry, “At around 2:30, after watching the excellent prosecution presentation by Regional Board staff and part of the Kissel Co. defense, I left for the day thinking the enforcement hearing was well in hand.”

It would appear that the fault lies with past legislatures for not properly defining the penalties associated with violations of time schedule orders in Porter Cologne. Board staff can only work within the laws that they’ve been given and based on your previous blog entry, your own ranking of that effort was ‘excellent.’

First, I have always been impressed by how relatively pristine Southern California beaches and oceans are, considering how bad they could be, and I attribute the dedication to sanitation in large part to you and your organization– so thanks!

To the point at hand, is there any chance that the City of Malibu will take separate action against Kissel? Is there any legal wiggle-room for that? It seems to me that the City of Malibu has generally been much better than the county boards at protecting Paradise Cove and the oceans in general (the Paradise Cove stormwater treatment project, for example, was recently funded by Malibu: http://www.ci.malibu.ca.us/download/index.cfm/fuseaction/download/cid/14507/ )– from your vantage point, is there any hope of Malibu stepping in?

Thanks,
Allison

When the school kids were asked in the lobby why they were there, they said it was for extra credit.

To bad they don’t know the facts. That CA fisheries are in good shape and the closures will hurt many businesses and families.

Please, this is a serious issue people.

Because the proliferation of sports must not be at the expense of the environment. Building earth-friendly stadiums is always the way to go.
