For twenty-five years, EDC has worked to protect environmental quality of life on California's Central Coast. To that end, EDC represents citizen groups to ensure that existing environmental laws are enforced. Our cases span the breadth of environmental issues, from protecting the quality of our drinking water, to guarding precious open spaces from development, to preventing species from extinction.
