Thursday, August 6th, 9:00 am

SLO Superior Court - Department 4

1050 Monterey Street, SLO

Attorney William S. Walter (Bill) is fighting it out with the California Coastal Commission (CCC) and Offshore Wind (OSW) Energy Developers again! This time it is concerning the recently adopted "Statewide Strategy for the Coexistence of California Fishing” (SS) on April 16, 2026.  

Below is a short summary of his 40 page Writ of Mandamus, filed on July 15, 2026:

Bill states that the declarations of commercial fishermen, qualified scientists, scientific literature, and subject matter experts were not considered when approving the SS.

The SS incorrectly assumes that site surveys do not have potential for adverse impacts to fisheries and fishing habitats and therefore imposes no best practice protocols on site surveys and data collection.

So wish us luck and if anybody is available to come and support the fishermen in court we would greatly appreciate it.

Monthly meetings held the 1st Wednesday of each month and open to the interested public, EVERYONE IS WELCOME.

Meeting locatation is The Benedict - 1401 Quintana Rd. Morro Bay

We will see you on August 5th!

Featured Speaker - Lori French/Fishing Advocate: Lori will present details of a new Marine Protected Area proposed for an area covering about 3 miles of coastline stretching from Morro Rock north to the end of the Morro Strand Campground, and 2.5 miles offshore - a place long used for local commercial and recreational fishing - that would, if adopted, outlaw those activities.

See this KSBY report for general information about the plan.

The wife of a second generation commercial fisherman, Lori currently serves on the American Fisheries Advisory Council, is an alternate on the Morro Bay Harbor Advisory Board, a member of Central Coast Women for Fisheries, Morro Bay Commercial Fishermen's Organization, Port San Luis Fishermen's Association, Bodega Bay Fishermen's  Association and Pacific Coast Federated Fishermen's Association. She is also the Commercial Fishing Advisory Council Member for the Chumash Heritage National Marine Sanctuary.  Her goal is to support commercial fishing in anyway she possibly can!

Featured Presentations:

REACT Directors will present on the May 26th Port San Luis Harbor Commission discussion about the Mott MacDonald Port Feasibility Study for Port San Luis. There is a bit to unpack about what the Commissioners had to say as well as about the dynamic public comment session…

Then….

With our singular focus on stopping offshore wind energy projects, we are often asked, “If not wind energy, then what?” While we don’t take a stance on other forms of energy, we believe it is important to be informed about the options, and have previously hosted speakers who presented on the benefits of solar and nuclear power at our monthly General Meetings.

In keeping with this trend, we will be taking a look at Hydrogen Fuel Cell technology at this June meeting.

*Get updates on other Offshore Wind Energy matters including:

• Update on the Morro Bay Fishermen’s lawsuit

• Grant awarded  to REACT to educate on OSW impacts to fishing

• Video on the massive “industrial chain” that is offshore wind

• Overview of Election Results
