Jetskis banned
from Tomales Bay and the Marin coast
In 2001, after five years of campaigning, EAC convinced the federal
government to issue regulations banning jetskis from the Gulf
of the Farallones Marin Sanctuary, including all of Tomales Bay.
At 948 square nautical miles, this is the largest jetski-free
area in the country-and one of the largest in the world. When
the ban was announced, Ed Ueber, Manager of the Gulf of the Farallones
National Marine Sancutary, sent us this message.
“ The work, patience and perseverance done and shown by
EAC has lead to a precedent-setting and forward-looking way to
protect the valuable, beautiful and mysterious resources of the
Gulf of the Farallones. You should all be very proud. The world,
nation and I thank you.”

Stopping Trophy
Homes and Keeping Land in Agriculture
We have succeeded in stopping or altering many residential developments
planned for agricultural lands, in Bolinas, Nicasio, and the East
side of Tomales Bay. For more information, contact EAC at eac@svn.net.
Details of these projects are posted while they are “live
issues.” Once a case is closed, we remove it from our website.
