The Power of One: Ballona Lagoon and Iylene Weiss

source: California Coast & Ocean | Mar 11, 08 | submitted by Pat Coate

Venice Beach, California, USA - The Ballona Lagoon is a tidal stream about 100 feet wide, flowing roughly parallel to Venice Beach, past the Silver Strand subdivision, where houses sell for upwards of $1 million.

All this could not have happened without Iylene Weiss and her small band of allies, who refused to accept what seemed inevitable and fought to save the lagoon.
