Save Trestles

Attention...Attention...Urgent Message.

Cool, now that I have you attention I want to share some information on an issue that I recently became aware of from my trip to San Clemente, California which is "SAVE TRESTLES". For my readers who are not surfers, Trestles is a famous and historical surf spot just south of San Clemente in the San Onofre State Beach.



What is occuring in this area is that the Transportation Corridor Agency is seeking to build an extension to an existing toll highway that will pass right through the coast line in the San Onofre State Beach, including Trestles Beach. If constructed this project would directly threaten the world class surf break at and around Trestles (including Uppers, Lowers, Middles, Church and Cottons), the project would also result in the destruction of Southern California’s last remaining pristine coastal watershed and substantially degrade habitat that is critical for the survival of at least seven endangered species, including the Southern Steelhead trout.

From this project of destruction came about a movement so that voices can be heard to protect this area from development called "SAVE TRESTLES".
