Naturists on seashores are those who are affected. It is not a situation that can be resolved by offering an on-line "meetup group" at One Beach as an alternative for behinds in the sand throughout the state.

GAVIOTA STATE PARK, California -
The gratuitous dressing down grabbed the attention of Dennis Craig Smith. A well-known writer and long time naturist, Smith heads Friends of Gaviota and is an Area Representative for the Naturist Action Committee. Smith politely asked for a meeting with the DPR direction responsible for Gaviota.
Dennis Craig Smith, Place Rep.
Such local assemblies, formal and otherwise, haven't been unusual. Just a little more than this past year, on July 1, 2010, Smith and a number of Friends of Gaviota members had met with Daniel Lee Falat, Superintendent for Gaviota State Park, Refugio State Beach, and El Capitan State Beach, and with DPR's Channel Islands District Superintendent Richard Charles Rozzelle. At

Rich Rozzelle
Having been put in place in 1979 by former DPR Director Russell Cahill, the Cahill Policy enabled a defective but powerful means of managing for clothing-optional recreation in units of the State Park system. While one national nudist organization expressed the notion that Cahill would remain in force at California state parks which weren't named San Onofre, most naturists understood that dream to be neither credible nor reasonable.
Dan Falat

On September 1, 2011, Superintendent Falat and District Superintendent Rozzelle met with Dennis Smith and a little smattering of naturists in the DPR office at Refugio State Beach. The two Parks Department employees revealed no hesitation in exhibiting Falat's confidence from this past year as the outright untruth it'd become.
After the assembly, Smith sent an email to members of Friends of Gaviota. "I do wish I had better news to report after our meeting with Rich Rozzelle and Dan Falat," he wrote. "For so long, we had productive meetings with Superintendent Danita Rodriguez and Officer Eric Hjelstrom, but yesterday the meeting signaled very well that the state is intent on closing down the clothing-optional beaches on state park property."
Smith continued: "The mantra was: the Cahill Policy is dead, and Regulation 4322 outlaws nudity on state park property.' For decades we enjoyed hassle free clothes optional use and this seems to be on the brink of being a true thing of yesteryear. They have closed Trail #6 at San Onofre State Beach to nudity, and it seems clear they have been intent on doing it on all the other naturist beaches in the state."
An important objective of the assembly was to file anxiety and indignation at the combative and officious manner in which the ranger had addressed the beachgoers to whom he was giving nudity citations. Smith reports that upon mention of the ranger's demeaning morality lecture, "the disposition of the officials turned hostile immediately, and we were accused of 'slandering' their officers." Smith says that Rozzelle and Falat qualified naturists as "being the ones who have been abusive and ill-mannered to the park staff, who are just doing their duty.'"
Smith reminded Falat and Rozzelle of the combined efforts by which Friends of Gaviota have participated through the years by sticking up for proper standards of behaviour on the strand and by organizing strand cleanups [NAC Newsletter, August, 2011].
https://s3.amazonaws.com/ff-naturist/family-nudist-photos.html dismissed the good works with a response that directly compared naturists to felons, saying: "If twenty cocaine users on a strand save a drowning man, we'll still arrest em all"
Who's slandering whom?
NAC board member Allen Baylis points out that it was DPR itself that made naturists into offenders. On one day, nudists were enjoying State Park beaches officially, under the Cahill Policy. Suddenly, naturists in State Parks throughout the state were criminals.
Ticketing for nudity isn't being confined to San Onofre nude beach and Gaviota. Nevertheless, those who recently accepted the DPR fiction that the Cahill Policy would remain honored outside of San Onofre are now expected to adopt DPR's next "project."
"One Beach" is not just the name of an internet picture that is being sponsored by a vintner. It is the working title of a DPR scheme to close all state parks to clothing-optional use - except for only ONE BEACH. Because the established nudist user group at that special beach does not accept the new anti-nudity policy through the state, DPR and its accomplice are looking to an on-line "meetup group" as a substitute.
