IRS990/Desc0ADVOCACY: The Los Cerritos Wetlands Land Trust serves as active advocate for the protection of Los Cerritos Wetlands and the surrounding San Gabriel River estuary. In 2017, the organization executed environmental advocacy campaigns and provided oversight, collaboration, expertise, and defense of the wetlands in the following areas. We fought for and achieved an environmentally friendly outcome to the SEASP (Southeast Area Development Specific Plan) zoning update. Specific benefits include the addition of bird safe measures, a developer funded mitigation fund, lower building heights and the removal of a road that would have cut through fragile wetlands. We worked with Beach Oil Mineral Partners to ensure their proposed mitigation bank would enhance habitat and expeditiously transfer their fragile lands into the public trust.
