What is the Coastside Protection Program?
A. The Coastside Protection extended the District’s service boundary westward to include an area of 220 square miles, serving approximately 30,000 San Mateo coastside constituents. The new boundary extends from the southern border of Pacifica to the San Mateo/Santa Cruz County line. Extension of this boundary provides elected representation to coastside residents and ensures public participation in the development of specific, District coastside policies. Any future projects, including purchase of easements or property from willing sellers, land management services, resource restoration, and community programs will be evaluated by the elected Board, with full public participation.
