• Addis bill protecting state's monarch habitats passes through committee (montereyherald.com) — Pismo Beach State Park is specifically named among key monarch butterfly overwintering sites that would gain stronger protections under a new state bill advancing in the Legislature. The measure would require coastal cities, including those around Pismo, to safeguard monarch habitat in their coastal plans, potentially shaping future development and conservation work along our stretch of the Central Coast.
