Surfers should be super stoked about the decision to save one of California’s best waves.  The Secretary of Commerce, Carlos M. Gutierrez, announced yesterday to uphold the California Coastal Commission’s ruling that found the Transportation Cooridor Agencies proposed extension of the 241 toll road inconsistent with the California Coastal Act. 

In a release issued from the Department of Commerce, they “determined that there is at least one reasonable alternative to the project and that the project is not necessary in the interest of national security.”  While this is a major hurdle for the Surfrider Foundation and the thousands of activists who voiced their opposition to the toll road extension, the fight is not over if the TCA decides to appeal the recent decision.
