Inventory and evaluation of California coastal recreation and aesthetic resources

"Currently, federal OCS oil and gas lease sales are proposed for tracts located along the North Central California coastal area during 1981 (Sale 53) and along Southern California coast during 1982 (Sale 68). Two other sales, numbers 73 and 80, are scheduled for the California OCS coastal area during 1983 and 1984 ... Based on input from the public, potential effects on aesthetic resources and coastal recreation were identified as items for consideration in the management decision-making process on California OCS lease sales 53, 68, 73, and 80, as part of the lease sales. This inventory and evaluation of recreational and aesthetic resources along the California coastline from the Mexican border to the Oregon border is one of the environmental studies that will support the decision process of these OCS sales"--Page I-1.
