The Coast News Covers the Endangered Habitats League’s Lawsuit to Protect Endangered Habitat

​The Coast News Group provides a detailed overview of the Endangered Habitat League’s litigation that challenges the Encinitas City Council’s approval of the Piraeus Point Project, including concerns raised under the California Coastal Act.

Dan Silver, Executive Director of the Endangered Habitats League, explains: “[The City is] basically saying it was the California Coastal Commission’s job to designate the environmentally sensitive habitat areas…It’s the city’s job to designate it, not somebody else’s. The courts have determined that when a city has an LCP (Local Coastal Program) under the Coastal Act, it needs to identify ESHA. They are really just circumventing the process.”
