The Dana Point Ocean is the Economy

This recent LA Times article about a Laguna Beach organization is definitely worth noting here in Dana Point, too. The Laguna Bluebelt Coalition has been working for several years on:

protecting and restoring marine life, conserving biological diversity and maintaining healthy, sustainable marine habitats for all plant, fish and animal species

Laguna Bluebelt Coalition founder, Mike Beanan notes “the ocean is the economy in this area.”

It’s not the arts, it’s not our celebrity, it’s not our restaurants and hotels. It’s the ocean. And if the ocean’s impaired, it will affect the economy.
