(April 3, 2012, updated w/ thoughts of Mel Nutter, Esq.) -- LBReport.com has learned of the passing of Peter Douglas, the longtime Executive Director of the CA Coastal Commission, the coastal regulatory agency that he (and others including former LB-Lakewood local Don May) created through a hard-fought ballot-enacted measure and empowered through the CA Coastal Act that he helped write. Mr. Douglas, revered by coastal protection advocates and detested and feared by some developers and coastal property owners, passed away on Sunday (April 1). He was 69 and fought a long and brave battle against cancer. LATimes.com has an obituary, here LBReport.com asked Long Beach attorney and former Coastal Commission chair Mel Nutter for his thoughts on Mr. Douglas' passing: During my tenure as the Chair of the California Coastal Commission, the action I am most proud of is voting to elect Peter Douglas as the Commission’s Executive Director. A close friend filed a dispatch on Mr. Douglas' personal blog, click here. Mr. Douglas said of himself on his blog the following: I have been the Executive Director of the California Coastal Commission since 1985; served on several national/international panels dealing with coastal conservation policy; elected School Board Member; Chaired community action organizations; and campaigned for Single Payer Health Care. LBReport.com adds: The next time you take your children to Sunset Beach to find some nearby waves and clean water and you use those little walkways between the private homes to gain access to the beach, we hope your thoughts will turn to Mr. Douglas...as ours will.
