The law, which established the California Coastal Commission, balances growth with public access, natural habitats, and scenic views.

Despite criticism from developers and some lawmakers, the commission has approved 99% of projects, often with environmental tweaks. As sea level rise and erosion pose new challenges, the act remains crucial for preserving Californias public beaches and driving tourism.
