Department Information

The California Coastal Commission (Commission) is seeking a talented addition to its offices in Southern California. The mission of the Commission is to provide for balanced use of the coastal zone and to protect, restore and enhance coastal and marine resources for the continuing benefit of current and future generations, including protection of public access under the Coastal Act. The Commission’s Enforcement Program employs coastal program analysts to enforce the permitting and resource protection policies of the Coastal Act. Enforcement staff investigates and resolves Coastal Act violation cases that can involve either development activities undertaken without first obtaining a Coastal permit or activities undertaken in violation of a permit granted by the Commission.
