On Thursday, March 14, 2024, the Coastal Commission will hold a public hearing to consider the consistency determination submitted by the U.S. Forest Service proposing to prohibit overnight camping and campfires for a two-year period at San Carpoforo Beach, in Big Sur.  The hearing agenda, along with instructions on how to provide written comments and to participate in the hearing either in person or via Zoom, is available at this link:

The Coastal Commission’s staff recommendation on this proposal will be posted and available for your review at this link with Thursday’s Agenda Item 10a, along with correspondence received to date, including the letters and emails you’ve already provided.

Thanks, and please let me know if you have any questions,

    • Robert, it worked for me, BUT, they said it is no 10 on the agenda and I don’t see it there. Nor do I see a link to leave a comment for that item.

  • I too, was confused about the item missing from the Agenda. I did some clicking around and finally found it!

    Here's how:

    When you click the link, scroll down until you see three tabs: Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. Click on the "Thursday March 14th, 9:00am" Tab, which will bring you to the correct Agenda. You can then scroll down to Item #10 and click the link to submit your public comment.
