California’s Central Coast

Californians appear to be rejecting a ballot measure that would raise the statewide minimum wage to $18 an hour. The measure saw a lot of opposition from San Luis Obispo County voters.

El Nino conditions have arrived on the central coast causing 15-25 foot waves to pummel local beaches at the start of the new year. Local marine scientists said the giant waves may cause erosion in some areas.

Central Coast scientists marched with picket signs in San Luis Obispo today. They are state employees participating in a 3-day ‘Defiance for Science’ strike.

A study published by CSULB's Shark Lab found that beachgoers on California’s Southern and Central Coast are sharing waters with more sharks than ever before.
