Call to action!

While the comment period is now closed, the battle is far from over. Alarmingly, BOEM has now launched a new comment period inviting the public (i.e. oil and gas companies) to tell them exactly what areas off central California should be opened for oil and gas drilling!

Meet our current Chairman! Niel not only runs our chapter, he's also very passionate about water quality for safe access to the beach by testing the local beaches weekly, & swimming in them. We all have a personal connection to the ocean which motivates us to advocate for what we love!

We are committed to advocating for policies that support renewable energy, energy efficiency, and the protection of our vital carbon-sequestering ecosystems. This can range from Offshore wind programs, battery storage systems, and promoting statewide initiatives that impact all of us in California.

May is #BikeMonth in San Luis Obispo!
Every mile you pedal helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions, air pollution, and runoff that harm our coastlines and marine ecosystems.

Every ride supports clean water, resilient coastlines, and a fossil fuel-free future.
