As Governor, Phil Angelides will reverse the policies of Arnold Schwarzenegger and George Bush, renewing California’s historic commitment to coastal and ocean protection.

Three decades ago, when oil spills blackened California beaches and uncontrolled development threatened public access to the coast, California leaders and voters acted to protect the coast, creating the Coastal Commission and passing the California Coastal Act. As Governor, Phil Angelides will call this generation of Californians to carry forward the work of protecting the coast against new threats to its environment and beauty.

The Angelides coastal protection plan will fight the unprecedented drive by President Bush and the Republican Congress for renewed oil and gas drilling off the California coast. And it will reverse the policy of coastal neglect by Governor Schwarzenegger, whose actions have not matched his rhetoric.
