The 2007 Sacramento Forum was held April 24-25

The 2006 Sacramento event, "The Coast and California's Watersheds: The Land Sea Connection," was organized by CalCoast and the Southern California Wetlands Recovery Project, together with a host of co-organizers and sponsors. We wish to thank our event co-chairs, Senator Denise Moreno Ducheny and Assemblymember Pedro Nava. The program brought participants together with decision-makers and staff from the Administration, Federal/State agencies, the Legislature and local elected officials to hear the latest developments regarding the state budget and pending legislation, with an emphasis on marine debris bills. At an evening reception, "Friend of the Coast" awards were given to Lt. Governor John Garamendi and Joe Caves of the Conservation Strategy Group. The following day, event participants spent time in the Capitol educating Legislators and staff about important coastal and watershed issues.
