Two days before Collins died unexpectedly in 2021, he asked his daughter to help him realize his dream of creating a #sanctuary.
“I feel complete,” Walker said, “like I’ve fulfilled a promise and an obligation to my family, to the earth.
It’s something that has been on my mind for a long time, and something we’ve always been worried about.
Now we can stop worrying so much and move onto the other things we have to deal with.”
The sanctuary’s boundaries will come into effect on 15 December,
following a statutory 45 day final review by US Congress and the state of California.
One of the main points of contention was an #offshore #wind #farm that the California Energy Commission approved earlier this year.
The farm will see hundreds of giant turbines floating in the ocean 20 miles off #Morro #Bay,
a small city in central California, that could bring up to 3 gigawatts of clean energy to the grid
– enough to power more than 1 million homes.
The tribe was concerned about the impact that the increase in ocean #noise would have on whales, fish and other marine species, as well as the proposed #port that would need to be built to transport the energy.
Morro Bay is home to one of the last remaining southern sea otter populations, and environmental campaigners raised concerns about increased boat traffic through the proposed port.
