Alan Sieroty, a former California state Senator, businessman and Honorary Friend of Adam Teva V’Din, is often referred to the “father of California coastal protection”. His landmark work between 1969 and 1972 on the California Coastal Initiative led to the enactment of the California Coastal Act which has protected the State’s coastline ever since. Upon his retirement from the Legislature, the State of California honored Mr. Sieroty by naming a beautiful beach near Bodega Bay the ‘Alan Sieroty State Beach’.

Mr. Sieroty generously supported Adam Teva V’Din as it worked to pass Israel's Coastal Protection Law in 2004, and has continued to ardently support its efforts to protect Israel’s coasts for all of its citizens and future generations.
