Planning for a Healthy Future

Your voice is needed to promote healthy development policies that will protect Humboldt Bay and other local waterways.  Our choices in the General Plan Update will determine whether we protect salmon populations, riparian and wetland resources, and water quality through good land use planning.

The Board of Supervisors directed the planning staff and commission to follow Guiding Principles that include “unambiguous natural resource protections, especially for open space, water resources, water quality, scenic beauty, and salmonids.”  We need the Supervisors and Planning Commission to uphold these directives to promote a healthy future for us all!

Humboldt Baykeeper is a member of the Healthy Humboldt Coalition, working to promote a future that is healthy for us all through a strong General Plan Update. Specifically, we believe the General Plan Update should include provisions to:

* Protect Riparian and Wetlands Areas

* Lead to Recovery of Imperiled Fish populations

* Focus Most Future Developmentin Existing Communities

* Reduce Stormwater Pollution

* Restore Threatened And Impaired Water Bodies
