Attorney, Surfer, Coastal Warrior

Cue images of rolling California surf. Voice-off: "This is Mark Massara, attorney, surfer, coastal warrior." See how Massara, Sierra Club Director of Coastal Programs and landmark attorney to the Surfrider Foundation, has helped protect the Pacific coast, in a New York Times video worth its 6 minutes.  His latest battle?  A Monterey golf-development project, one of several major coastal protection battles on his docket. The report also explores the "rise in surfer activism."  As Masarra asks, when you see a flower popping up in the pavement, which do you root for, the flower or the pavement?

Great video. Far too much of the CA coast has already been developed IMHO. Thanks for the link.
