Longest undeveloped coastline gets protection


WASHINGTON - President Bush signed legislation Tuesday protecting more than 273,000 acres in Northern California, the state's biggest federal wilderness designation in more than a decade.

Areas protected include King Range, the longest stretch of undeveloped coastline in the contiguous United States; Cache Creek, home to the second-largest wintering bald eagle population in California; and portions of Eel River, which hosts 30 percent to 50 percent of the state's endangered summer-run steelhead trout.

Environmentalists cheered Bush's action on the Northern California Coastal Wild Heritage Act. The law protects some of the most remote and beautiful landscapes in California, including a long stretch of undeveloped beach and coastal bluffs in Humboldt and Mendocino counties.

Its a beautiful piece ...
