A federal special resource study will examine the Los Angeles coastline and adjacent areas along Santa Monica Bay from Will Rogers State Beach to Torrance Beach, including Ballona Creek and San Pedro, while excluding the Port of Los Angeles north of Crescent Avenue. The study will gather research and public input and report findings to Congress. The evaluation will use criteria of significance, suitability, feasibility, and need for National Park Service management and will consider alternatives for preservation, protection, interpretation, and costs.
