MENDOCINO CO., — A 136-acre beach near Westport in Mendocino County has been transferred to a nonprofit established by three local Native American tribes, Caltrans announced Thursday.
Legislation by state Sen. Mike McGuire, D–Santa Rosa, signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom in 2021, allowed Caltrans to transfer Blues Beach near Westport at no cost to a qualified nonprofit corporation.
Five years later, the transfer is underway with Kai Poma, a nonprofit organized by tribes with ancestral ties to the region — Sherwood Valley Band of Pomo Indians, Round Valley Indian Tribes, and Coyote Valley Band of Pomo Indians, according to Caltrans.
During the transfer, Caltrans said they will close Blues Beach to vehicles, in cooperation with Kai Poma and the California Coastal Commission. Pedestrian access will still be available.
Caltrans said once the transfer is complete, Kai Poma will own and maintain the 136-acre site, protecting “sensitive natural resources and Native American cultural resources.”
Gavin will soon be bent over by “BUBBA” in San Quentin Prison shower Room !!!
California will be given back to mexico next before this idiotic governor quits
what are you l? stupud white fascist Christian Nationalist ASSHOLE from Hell, or is this supposed to be funny?
If there’s a joke, it’s that not only do some whites think they have done such a great job of taking care of the land and water, they still think that they have a right (ordained by whom?) to continue to do whatever they want with them. How hilarious that, now that we descendants of white colonists have pretty much ruined the whole balance of nature in this region—damming and sucking the natural water resources dry, clearing millions of acres of once-dense redwood forests that took millions of years to evolve (along with other species that depend on them), poisoning the land and water resources with pesticides and mercury, destroying habitat of countless indigenous species and hunting others into extinction, increasing the climate’s heat to an irreversibly dangerous point, and worst of all, nearly obliterating the original people who knew all along how to live in harmony with the natural world, we now “give it back” to them. Mendohunter and Joe, you should be ashamed of yourselves. How embarrassing that there are still insanely ignorant, vulgar people around like you. All you can do is make disgusting homophobic sexual insinuations to insult people you disagree with. Go back to junior high.
“Not Amused” got EVERYTHING right…kudos.
There goes the graduation camp out party. The last day of school before high school graduation party happening every Thursday prior to graduation for decades. Probably not anymore. Thursday night party at Blues Beach then Friday to recover and graduation on Saturday. Not sure if that’s the tradition anymore but it was through the 80’s and 90’s. I guess I’m just too old to know now.
