Rescued a kid my son had been playing with, just yards offshore on a visit to Jax. My son is a strong swimmer and knew what to do and stayed calm in a flash rip. The other boy was in real trouble… worst day of my life- swimming past my son to help the other kid. Lifeguards never get enough pay or credit. Watch Bondi rescue- we should be that well staffed too.
As a University of Miami: Rosenstiel School of Marine, Atmospheric, and Earth Science alumna, I was able to experience the beauty and benefits of Miami's marine resources. It is imperative that we protect these resources for current and future generations to enjoy.
I stand in solidarity with the community in opposing the decision to place a toxic waste sorting site at Will Rogers Beach. Our environment, health, and future generations deserve better than short-sighted, dangerous decisions that threaten the safety of our coastal ecosystems. Will Rogers Beach is a cherished space for all, and it must remain free from contamination. We cannot afford to risk the health of our local communities, businesses, and wildlife. It’s time for responsible and sustainable solutions that truly prioritize the well-being of people and the planet.
I am baffled this would even be an option. All of our precious beaches and costal ecosystems need to be preserved not destroyed intentionally. We can do better California, this should have never been an option when wonder what to do with all the toxic waste from the fires. Please please do not let this be the solution, it is a waste of time also, just use the existing parking lots in the middle of Palisades and get it out of there, rebuilding is priority I understand but not in this way.
Growing up near the California coast, I developed a deep appreciation for our beaches, not just as places of recreation but as delicate ecosystems that sustain marine life and protect our communities. Will Rogers State Beach, in particular, is more than just a stretch of sand; it is a sanctuary for wildlife, a refuge for families, and a reminder of the natural beauty we are entrusted to protect.
Transporting toxic waste to another location doesn’t solve the problem—it simply creates a new one. The idea of shifting environmental hazards instead of addressing them at their source is not just shortsighted but deeply unjust. Will Rogers Beach is a cherished natural refuge, a place of solace for countless individuals. To compromise its safety and beauty by introducing toxic waste is to take yet another thing away from a community that has already suffered immense loss. True solutions require responsibility, foresight, and respect for both people and the environment—not just relocating the problem elsewhere..
Growing up near it the ocean the ocean has become a big part of my life. It is truly sad to see how such a big beautiful part of my life becomes littered with trash. I think we could all do better
The beach should not be a place for sorting toxic waste, it is a fragile ecosystem. This particular location is also used by many as a running, walking and biking path, not to mention all the families that come to the beach for enjoyment. Let’s do better and find a better place for sorting out toxic waste. The westside has suffered enough with all the fires, let’s not prolong it.
Will Rogers State Beach is more than just a stretch of sand—it’s a vital coastal ecosystem, a sanctuary for wildlife, and a cherished community space. As a conservation biologist and environmental advocate, I’ve spent my life fighting to protect places like this. Turning it into a hazardous waste site, even temporarily, is reckless.
I know firsthand that environmental shortcuts come at a cost. One storm, one high tide, and toxic materials could seep into the ocean, endangering marine life and public health. There are safer inland alternatives—this isn’t about stopping cleanup efforts, it’s about doing it responsibly.
I refuse to let bureaucratic convenience put our coastline at risk. We must demand better.
