The California Coastal Commission is a powerful institution created by the people that effectively safeguards coastal ecosystems while balancing development needs and public access.
Unlike other government entities, the Coastal Commission is independent, valuing compromise but unafraid to oppose the powerful when necessary, such as against David Geffen and U2's The Edge.
The commission is charged with enforcing the public's right to access the coast and has actively sought to maintain ecological integrity against wealthy interests.
Elon Musk's recent conflict with the commission over SpaceX rocket launch expansions highlights the body’s role in governing coastal activities against influential entities.
