Cousteau urges 1% military budget for ocean research
Jacques Cousteau urged major nations to divert 1 percent of combined military budgets to marine research, warning oceans face 20 to 30 percent destruction from pollution and other causes. He warned cleansing costs could reach 5 to 6 percent of global GDP, with the United States contributing over $50 billion. He called for taming international competition to save seas.

Environmental Bill of Rights Gains Senate Support
The Senate Natural Resources and Wildlife Committee approved a measure by Assemblyman Edwin Berg to adopt a constitutional environmental bill of rights as state policy. The bill would be a non binding policy if ratified by voters next year and would not create substantive protections for defendants or environmental polluters.

Mander Calls Civilian Ocean Development Task
Mander argues a civilian agency should explore ocean riches not the Navy. Cousteau warns visibility off Madagascar has fallen from 300 feet to under 100 feet in 20 years and fish over three inches are rare. He cites Micronesia pollution as globally pervasive and fears future generations may not see today’s ocean life. He warns if action isn’t taken now the ocean could end in 30 to 50 years.

Coastal protection bill would largely bypass Long Beach
Conservationist Dr Richard Bail warns the pending coastal protection measure would exclude Long Beach and its harbor from most effects. He notes only a major shift in land use from recreation to commercial or redevelopment could bring the city under the plan. The bill would create a statewide coastal commission with six regions and permit power over nonurban coastal developments 1000 yards inland, while local governments would hold a majority on regional panels. No moratorium is planned and legislative approval is required.
