Overview
- The Los Angeles Coastal Area Special Resource Study covers a stretch from Will Rogers State Beach to Torrance Beach, including Pacific Palisades, Santa Monica, Venice, Torrance, and portions of the San Pedro coast.
- The National Park Service is assessing the area against four factors: significance, suitability, feasibility, and the need for federal management.
- Researchers are actively evaluating the sites during the public-engagement phase before making any recommendations.
- One virtual meeting was held on February 11, with a second set for March 11 at 6 p.m., and public comments are open through April 6 via the NPS planning portal.
- Any designation would require congressional legislation or a presidential proclamation after the NPS delivers its findings.
