California State Parks proposed to remove an existing Interpretive Center from a parking lot at Crystal Cove State Park and build two new modular structures in Environmentally Sensitive Habitat.
Why You Should Care
Environmentally Sensitive Habitat is that which is rare or especially valuable and which can be easily disturbed or degraded by human activity and development. The Coastal Act prohibits development within ESHA unless it is resource dependent. The construction of two new modular structures is not resource dependent and therefore could not be permitted.
