The Coastal Commission’s new Environmental Justice Policy provides the vision for incorporating environmental justice policy into the Commission’s permitting and planning decisions. In 2016, Assembly bill 2616 amended the Coastal Act to give the Commission authority to specifically consider environmental justice when making permit decisions. According to the staff report, “The policy is intended to provide an analytical tool for the Commission to assess the potential disproportionate impacts of new development and coastal permitting decisions on traditionally marginalized communities, including historically disenfranchised communities of color.” The policy was developed with input from communities and organizations all across the state and was supported by a vast array of Environmental Justice organizations and Coastal Commissioners, including the Commission’s environmental justice representative Effie Turnbull Sanders.
