Episode 133: California Coastal National Monument. Six new areas.

President Obama's Proclamation 7264 significantly expanded the California Coastal National Monument. Six new areas, including Trinidad Head and Piedras Blancas, were added to protect their historical, cultural, and scientific value. These areas boast diverse ecosystems, supporting a wide range of plant and animal life, and hold significant meaning for Native American tribes. The proclamation ensures these resources are preserved for future generations while acknowledging existing rights and jurisdictions. Management of the expanded monument falls under the Bureau of Land Management.
