Harbor Pollution Study Final Report

San Mateo County Resource Conservation District (RCD) has published their Final Report on Identification and Remediation of Fecal Pollution in Pillar Point Harbor.  The study identifies sources of bacteria in the harbor and presents a plan to address them.

“The key lesson learned from this project is that the high fecal indicator bacteria counts at Capistrano Beach are a landscape-level issue, not based at or in the Harbor itself but rather in the upland urban area.”

Plan Half Moon Bay

The City of Half Moon Bay is looking for community participation and feedback during the process of updating its General Plan, Local Coastal Program, and Zoning Ordinance.  This project will help define a community vision for the future and provide planning policies and regulations to carry out that vision.  Midcoast residents are encouraged to get involved.
