The advisory, issued September 14, also affects several Santa Monica and Marina del Rey spots, and comes with reminders to keep beaches clean and prevent pollution reaching the ocean.
2. Billionaire MLB Owner Mark Attanasio's Illegal Malibu Dig Hands Californians a $2 Million Beachfront Win (thenewstribune.com) — A settlement over illegal excavation near a Malibu mansion means a $2 million beachfront parcel at Big Rock Beach will be dedicated for public access along a stretch where entry points are scarce. After Malibu issued a stop‑work order and the Coastal Commission intervened, the owner must restore damaged habitat while keeping his seawall, giving locals and visitors another way onto the shoreline.
