The environmental benefits are profound, starting with the elimination of vehicles crossing Arroyo Grande creek and their threat to endangered species like the Southern steelhead trout, red legged frog, and tidewater goby. Birds like the snowy plover and least tern will have a more welcoming day and night habitat with the threat of vehicle disturbance eliminated. The beach environment will re-establish its natural ecosystem and protect invertebrates like crabs, sand dollars, and Pismo clams. Also, there are thousands of tourists who want to play at a beach that is free of vehicular traffic and the potential economic boost to Oceano’s economy.
