Humboldt Bay Harbor, Recreation and Conservation District Candidates Forum

Wednesday, Oct. 7 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.

Humboldt Area Foundation, 373 Indianola Road, Bayside

The Humboldt Bay Stewards will host a candidates’ forum for the upcoming November election of Bay District Commissioners.

This is an opportunity for the public to meet the 3rd and 4th districts Commissioner Candidates and listen to them discuss the issues and their positions. The League of Women Voters will conduct the forum.  All candidates will have the opportunity to answer each of the questions submitted from the audience.

Topics of particular interest to Surfrider members: Marina dredging, port development, water quality… others? Add in the comments.

Surfrider Humboldt Chapter speaks out

“Several cautioned the commissioners about the potential for environmental damage – including a Surfrider Foundation representative who noted that ships would likely dump unknown and undesirable materials into the bay and nearby ocean.”

From the Times-Standard‘s recent story about the Humboldt Bay Harbor, Recreation and Conservation District‘s approval of the Redwood Marine Terminal Business Plan.

(That Surfrider rep would be our own Volunteer Coordinator Kalei Coleridge.)

Chris Rall of Green Wheels has a report on the meeting here.
