Recently, my wife Ginger and I attended the Orange County chapter meeting of the Sierra Club to hear Ray Hiemstra give an informative and inspiring talk. Ray spoke about our county’s Coastkeeper organization, where he serves as Associate Director of Policy and Projects, how he protects local intertidal waters from pollutants and invasive plant species and guards our fish stocks.
It was standing room only as visitors filled the LCAD Gallery during Laguna Beach's Thursday's Art Walk to celebrate this year's winners of the 12th Annual Laguna Bluebelt Photo Contest.

Laguna Beach officials said Wednesday that a graffitied Thousand Steps Beach sea cave is located on private property and are working with the property owners to remove the paint.
Photos of the usually whimsical beachscape were posted to social media platforms, earning outrage from many Laguna Beach residents exasperated by a segment of visitors who vandalize natural spaces.
“We are working with the property owners on cleaning up the graffiti and expect to have the situation resolved soon,” Laguna Beach Community Development Director Marc Wiener wrote in an email.
