SAILBOAT IN UPPER NEWPORT BAY. THE BAY WAS SCHEDULED TO BECOME A YACHT HARBOR. CONSTRUCTION OF FACILITIES ALONG THE COASTLINE HAS DECLINED SINCE THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE STATE'S COASTAL ZONE CONSERVATION ACT IN 1973. ONE STATE AND SIX REGIONAL COMMISSIONS HAVE AUTHORITY TO REGULATE CONSTRUCTION WITHIN 1,000 YARDS OF THE SHORELINE AND MUST MAKE A REPORT TO THE STATE LEGISLATURE IN JANUARY, 1976. THE LEGISLATURE THEN WILL DEBATE AND PASS LAWS AFFECTING THE FUTURE OF THE STATE'S COASTLINE
