The California Coastal Commission is a state agency in the U.S. state of California with quasi-judicial regulatory influence over land use and public access in the California coastal zone.

Mission

The California Coastal Commission's mission is "To protect, conserve, restore, and enhance the environment of the California coastline".

History

California Proposition 20, The Coastal Initiative, established the Coastal Commission in 1972, winning 55% of the votes. The Coastal Initiative gave the Coastal Commission permit authority for four years' time. The California Coastal Act of 1976 extended the Coastal Commission's authority indefinitely.

Since 1980, while inflation has increased 160 percent, the commission's total funding has risen only 9 percent—from $13.5 million to $16.3 million—and at times been cut nearly in half. The commission's full-time staff has been slashed from 200 in 1980 to 138 today; only 11 enforcement officers investigate violations along the 1,100-mile coastline.
