The natural resources of Morro Bay

The primary purpose of this report, then, is to document the natural resources of Morro Bay and their values; point out significant problems regarding their use and to make recommendations for preservation of these resources to planners, administrators and interested citizens. A secondary purpose of this report is to pull together into one source, all data and references on the biological resources of Morro Bay. Up to now these data have been widely distributed amongst letters, reports, papers, etc., to which few have access. At the request of Senate Resolution No. 176, 1966 First Extraordinary Session, the Department completed in December, 1966 a report entitled, "Report of the Natural Resources of Morro Bay and Proposal for Comprehensive Area Plan." Based largely upon the recommendations of that report, the San Luis Obispo County Board of Supervisors appointed a task force to prepare a comprehensive area plan for the Morro Bay area and its watershed. Hence, the information herein is presented in order that the natural resources of Morro Bay will be given adequate consideration, based on the best data available, in the proposed comprehensive area plan and in other plans such as one being prepared by the Coastal Zone Conservation Commission.
