Our guests this morning are Kevin Sousa and Michael Collins.
Dr. Michael Collins is a paddler, surfer, artist and psychologist who lives, works, and plays in Hermosa
Beach. About 3 years ago, an oil company began a campaign that would attempt to convince the citizens
of Hermosa Beach to lift their current ban on oil and gas drilling. The notion of allowing a 34 well oil and
gas drilling operation to set up camp in the middle of Hermosa Beach was seen as a direct threat to
everything that his community stood for, which is why Mike and his friends formed ‘Stop Hermosa
Beach Oil’, and united under the banner, "Keep Hermosa Hermosa." Michael believes this grass roots
effort has captured the spirit of Hermosa Beach with passion, creativity, heart and endurance.
Kevin Sousa is the co-founder of Keep Hermosa Hermosa. He lives and works in Hermosa Beach as a
psychotherapist. Kevin is also a musician who performs regularly in and around the South Bay. In
addition, Kevin is an avid waterman.
This morning, we’re going to discuss Measure O which is on the ballot next month and proposes oil
drilling in Hermosa Beach. This is an intensely controversial subject and today we’ll talk about why
drilling in Hermosa should not be allowed.
