Congress finds the following: Presidential Proclamation Number 7264, dated January 11, 2000 (65 Fed. Reg. 2821), designated over 20,000 islands, rocks, and pinnacles along the approximtely 1,100-mile California coastline as the California Coastal National Monument to protect the biological treasures situated offshore on thousands of unappropriated or unreserved areas of land owned or controlled by the Federal Government within 12 nautical miles of the shoreline. Presidential Proclamation Number 9089, dated March 11, 2014 (79 Fed. Reg. 14603), expanded the boundary of the Monument to include 1,665 acres of Federal land administered by the Bureau of Land Management along the Northern California coastline in Mendocino County, commonly known as the Point Arena-Stornetta Unit .

The Point Arena-Stornetta Unit is the first onshore expansion of the Monument. Numerous governmental entities, community organizations, businesses, and individuals have made significant contributions to maintain the unique character, management, and preservation of the individual parcels of Federal land along the California coast. The purposes of this Act are— to protect, conserve, and enhance for the benefit and enjoyment of present and future generations the nationally significant historical, natural, cultural, scientific, educational, and scenic values of the Federal land along and adjacent to the shoreline of the State of California, and for the purposes for which the Monument was designated; and to support the land management partnerships of the Bureau of Land Management with the State of California, local governments, communities, and stakeholders, and to enhance the relationships those entities have with the Bureau of Land Management and Federal land, as appropriate.
