Orange County Coastal Commission

The city and the Orange County Coastal Commission debuted a brochure, called Between a Rock and a Hard Place, at a recent Coastal Commission meeting. The brochure is meant primarily for teachers and students and will be sent to every school in the county. "People are walking on tide pools and turning over rocks," said Patti Schooley, the county's parks district manager. "All that is decimating tide pools, and there is not going to be much left 10 years from now."
