"The waves turned from sea green to a foamy, gross brown as they came in," said Bloom, 18, of nearby Calabasas. "The water was hot and it smelled horrible." Bloom says he was sick for a week from surfing in the filthy water, a stew of suburban runoff, septic tank overflows and water from a sewage treatment plant.

His doctor prescribed antibiotics for his blocked sinuses and congested lungs. His story is familiar in surfing circles. Many surfers 2 drawn by this beach's worldwide reputation for ideally shaped waves, sunny skies and steep bluffs claim they've been sickened by the water: That may start to change, because a record share of California's next state budget will be spent preserving the state's storied coastline.

We're pretty pleased." 210 Despite the jump in funding, conservation groups say it's just a start toward what's needed. The five state agencies dedicated to coastal, wildlife and open space conservation will need about $2 billion oyer, the next decade, according to the finance department. The Coastal Conservancy alone says it needs $579 million for projects involving wetlands, watersheds, and urban 121 waterfronts.

"And those numbers are conservative," Brown saipk: "We still have a long way to go." Several factors contributed to making the coast a priority this year, said Bill Craven, state director for the Sierra, Club. lot "There's more money to spend and a willingness to ognize that coastal protection is a top priority for the pubra lic," Craven said.
