The Fight to Keep Oceano (Pismo) is Not Over

[DuneFlyer]

American Sand Association Opposes Coastal Commission Decision​

In an unsurprising move, the California Coastal Commission (CCC) voted to ban OHV use at the Oceano Dunes State Vehicular Recreation Area (ODSVRA). Unanimously approved by all 10 members, the motion would remove all vehicular activity in the park within three years. In addition, a ban on night riding is set to take effect immediately. If the CCC gets its way, what was once 15,000 acres of open riding area enjoyed by generations of families will soon be relegated to history. As one of the most popular riding areas in California, Oceano (also known as Pismo Beach or Pismo Dunes) is a major economic driver on the Central Coast. With a protracted and expensive legal battle over the ODSVRA looming, OHV advocacy organizations need to rely on enthusiasts and businesses for financial and volunteer support. The anti-access groups are not going to simply disappear. They are well-funded with full-time paid staff; some of which are environmental attorneys. If we are to be successful, we will need your support. If we quit, they win. Please support the ASA in the battle to keep Oceano open. You can give your time, talents, efforts, and of course, your dollars. Talk to your friends, talk with the businesses from which you buy your parts, tires, vehicles, etc. – they all need to be involved. Over the last 20+ years, the ASA has fought off various attacks on Glamis (Imperial Sand Dunes) by the anti-access groups. The Association lead the effort to defend OHV access which resulted in 40,000 acres of riding area re-opened. About 9,400 acres still remain closed to protect a plant which the biologists contend does not need protection. The ASA was also one of the lead organizations in preventing proposed closures at Ocotillo Wells and other desert riding areas. The ASA continues to speak out for the OHV community, and is a member of the Off Road Vehicle Legislative Coalition, and a founding member of the Ecologic Legal Coalition. Ecologic is actively addressing the legal issues surrounding the ODSVRA and is committed to preserving access to this unique resource. If we lose the fight at Oceano, is your favorite riding area the next target?

There basically another country in there thinkings of anything and everything. If they think iits right, to hell what u think!
