Coastline bills face uphill fight in California legislature
California coastal preservation faced stiff opposition as the new legislative year opened. Assembly Speaker Bob Moretti warned of strong opposition from oil utilities and developers while conservationists formed the California Coastal Alliance led by Janet Adams. Two main bills by Wilson and Sieroty propose a statewide coast commission with regional boards, differing on board makeup and planning zones, with debate likely to continue.

Geologist Richard L Bateman says subsidence from underground irrigation depletion drives the decline and is a major California problem.
