Thank you to Mission Blue for this honor and for collaborating with us to protect the Central Coast. Together we are highlighting the importance of NOAA designating the Chumash Sanctuary by summer 2024. We agree that we must protect the Central Coast’s irreplaceable environmental and cultural ocean sites.Northern Chumash Tribal Council Chair Violet Sage Walker and recently retired Santa Lucia Sierra Club Director Andrew Christie are being recognized as the Hope Spot Champions for over 10 years of work on the Chumash Sanctuary campaign by them and their organizations. Thank you to Violet, Andrew, Mission Blue, and all of you for supporting us over the years and in this final stretch towards designation.
