Item #5 at the May 27, 2021 State Coastal Conservancy meeting be continued to a future date and that no action occur tomorrow2. The State Coastal Conservancy help create and fund a stakeholders working group that includes interested tribal organizations, non-profit organizations, CDFW, and State Coastal Conservancy, that is managed by an independent, unbiased facilitator to reach a science based consensus on the restoration of the Ballona Wetlands Ecological Reserve.Let’s get back on track with what was promised to the public. The Staff Report per inclusivity to the public and stakeholders is inaccurate as proven through numerous Public Record Act request responses.Grassroots Coalition is unaware of any new studies or information provided after 2012.

The WRDA process begins in 2012 utilizing the sameinadequate set of studies.Early Timeline :
