(09:00) Marina – Environmentalists, scientists and activists came together yesterday (Monday) morning to protest the Cemex plant in Marina. Ten months ago the California Coastal Commission ruled that sand mining operations violated state regulations. A recent study shows that the Cemex has doubled their mining without notifying the coastal commission. Protestors like Save Our Shores and the Surfrider Foundation are concerned that if sand mining doesn’t stop that sand will become a depleted resource and coastal erosion will affect Highway 1. The California Coastal Commission is working with Cemex to negotiate a settlement.
