EcoLogic partners, a joint collaboration between SEMA, ORBA, ASA and AMA recently filed a lawsuit against the Coastal Commission for prohibiting motorized recreation and overnight camping at the Oceano Dunes.\r\n\r\nSan Luis Obispo Superior Court Judge Tana Coates ruled the Coastal commission abused its discretion by unilaterally ordering the elimination of OHV use at the Oceano Dunes.\r\n\r\n\u201cToday\u2019s ruling is a huge win for SEMA, ORBA, ASA, and AMA District 37 in the fight to protect motorized recreation access in California and across the United States,\u201d said Mike Spagnola, President &amp; CEO of SEMA. \u00a0\"The Coastal Commission's efforts to stop off-road access at Oceano Dunes were unreasonable and set a dangerous precedent,\u201d\r\n\r\nThe Oceano Dunes have been a hot issue with many meetings and people on both sides speaking for and against the closure. In 2021the Coastal Commission demanded California State Parks phase out motorized recreation by 2024. The Oceano Dunes are visited by millions of enthusiasts each year.","excerpt":"<p>A judge ruled in favor of several organizations working to protect motorized recreation at the Oceano Dunes on the Central &hellip;<\/p>","date":"July 27, 2023 09:57","categories":[{"id":25047612,"title":"News","slug":"news"},{"id":25047652,"title":"UTV","slug":"utv"}],"tags":[{"id":25048575,"title":"california","slug":"california"},{"id":25049373,"title":"coastal comission","slug":"coastal-comission"},{"id":25049374,"title":"eco logic partners","slug":"eco-logic-partners"},{"id":25049320,"title":"lawsuit","slug":"lawsuit"},{"id":25049323,"title":"motorized recreation","slug":"motorized-recreation"},{"id":25048043,"title":"oceano dunes","slug":"oceano-dunes"},{"id":25049321,"title":"orba","slug":"orba"},{"id":25048044,"title":"pismo","slug":"pismo"},{"id":25047891,"title":"SEMA","slug":"sema"},{"id":25047653,"title":"UTV","slug":"utv"}]},{"id":7234,"permalink":"https:\/\/dirtsportsworld.com\/2023\/06\/08\/joint-lawsuit-seeks-to-keep-motorized-access-to-oceano-dunes-open\/","title":"Joint Lawsuit Seeks to Keep Motorized Access to Oceano Dunes Open","content":"SEMA has filed a joint lawsuit with EcoLogic Partners to keep motorized access to the popular Oceano Dunes near Pismo Beach, California open. EcoLogic Partners is a legal collaboration between the Off-Road Business Association (ORBA), American Sand Association (ASA) as well as AMA District 37. The group is challenging plans by the California Coastal Commission to prohibit motorized recreation and overnight camping at the Oceano Dunes State Vehicle Recreation Area.\r\n\r\nThe Oceano dunes are a popular destination for UTV\u2019s, motorcycles and ATV\u2019s. The group wants the courts to recognize the Coastal Commission\u2019s lack of authority to close the area to motorized vehicles. The Oceano dunes have become a hot conversation over the last several years since the Coastal Commission announced plans to limit and eventually move to toward banning motorized recreation.\r\n\r\nA court hearing has been scheduled for June 15<sup>th<\/sup> in the California Superior Court of San Luis Obispo.","excerpt":"<p>SEMA has filed a joint lawsuit with EcoLogic Partners to keep motorized access to the popular Oceano Dunes near Pismo &hellip;<\/p>","date":"June 8, 2023 02:02","categories":[{"id":25047612,"title":"News","slug":"news"},{"id":25047652,"title":"UTV","slug":"utv"}],"tags":[{"id":25049322,"title":"asa","slug":"asa"},{"id":25049324,"title":"california coastal comission","slug":"california-coastal-comission"},{"id":25049320,"title":"lawsuit","slug":"lawsuit"},{"id":25049323,"title":"motorized recreation","slug":"motorized-recreation"},{"id":25048043,"title":"oceano dunes","slug":"oceano-dunes"},{"id":25049321,"title":"orba","slug":"orba"},{"id":25048044,"title":"pismo","slug":"pismo"},{"id":25048047,"title":"pismo state beach","slug":"pismo-state-beach"},{"id":25047891,"title":"SEMA","slug":"sema"}]}]{
