From Closure, A1 environment. As a result, the city does not need to write an environmental impact report, and the declaration can be adopted as is, depending on the community input received. The public comment period ends May 20, (see box above ) and those interested in offering their feedback can find the notice and report at sandiego.gov/city-clerk/officialdocs/ notices with a search for Project No. 225045. The Children’s Pool beach is currently closed at night until May 15 (the official end of pupping season) and there is also a year-round rope to encourage humans to stay a safe distance from the seals on the beach.
The current night time seawall and beach closure could become a 24-hour closure during pupping season. Pat Sherman Though it is legal to cross that rope, beach-goers must adhere to the Marine Mammal Protection Act, which dictates that humans keep at least 50 yards from pregnant and nursing seals and pups. Comments both for and against the declaration and subsequent beach closure were made during the meeting with LJP&B Chair Dan Allen assuring that each person had his or her say. LJP&B member Jane Reldan, a strong advocate for closing the beach, read her prepared statement to the group. “The closure of Casa Beach meets all of the requirements of the Coastal Act
and has a positive impact on the environment and the protection of coastal resources,” Reldan said. One of many against the closure, Rebecca Morales said, “The pool was constructed for the use of children … there are very few places in the world where we find this kind of enclosure. We have an international gem here … there are places where we already have marine life sanctuaries.” Morales added that people have lost sight of the intended use of Children’s Pool, to which LJP&B member Phyllis Minnick replied, “We haven’t lost sight, it was taken away from us.”
