Tell Gov. Newsom: Sign these Bills to Protect the Coast
The 2026 legislative session in Sacramento recently ended, and eight statewide bills that will protect our coast and ocean are on the Governor’s desk for final approval.

- AB 1448 - Strengthens California’s protections against the expansion of offshore oil and gas drilling.
- AB 2734 - Updates the Whale Tail License Plate program so more revenue directly supports coastal access, outdoor education, and grant programs.

- AB 762 - Prohibits the sale of disposable, battery-embedded nicotine vapes, a major source of plastic waste that ends up on our beaches.
- AB 2253 - Cracks down on misleading "recyclable" labelling on plastic products, ensuring consumers can trust environmental claims.
