Supervisor Wilson named ‘coastal advocate’
Orange County Supervisor Tom Wilson was named “Coastal Advocate of the
Year” at the statewide conference of a California environmental group
earlier this month.
Wilson was tapped for his efforts to protect the California coastline
during the Monterey meeting of the California Coastal Coalition and
California Shore and Beach Preservation Assn., which was held Nov. 2-4.
Wilson is the founder and chairman of the Orange County Coastal
Coalition, a multi-agency group that meets monthly to consider issues
related to beaches, coastal waters and wetlands.
“We’ve been working hard and there’s certainly a lot more to do,”
Wilson said in response to the award. “But what a great boost to have our
efforts recognized in this way.”
