California State Lands Commission

Californians have another chance this week to weigh in on a federal review of how the state manages development along its coastline. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) review comes amid growing tensions between the Trump Administration and state regulators over offshore oil and other coastal projects.

California officials are urging residents to speak up about the future of who manages the state’s coastline. The push comes as a new federal review could reshape who has a say over offshore development.

California officials are pushing back after the Trump Administration ordered the restart of a controversial oil pipeline system off the Santa Barbara coast. State regulators say they’re preparing for possible legal action over the company restarting the pipeline, without required state approvals, and over a federal order allowing the company to bypass California law.
