In Memoriam
Marty Griffin
C-SALT celebrates the life of L. Martin Griffin, M.D. A former C-SALT advisor, Marty helped save the Marin and Sonoma County coasts from development, along with the Russian River, by preventing the building of a coastal four-lane freeway and a coastal aqueduct from the Russian River. He was instrumental in creating the Audubon Canyon Ranch (1961), the gateway to the 71,000-acre Point Reyes National Seashore (1962) and the Golden Gate National Recreation Area (1972). In 1998 he wrote the award-winning book, Saving the Marin-Sonoma Coast, the inspiration for the KRCB movie, Rebels With a Cause. Marty fought tirelessly for the environment and public health until age 103.
