Oxnard and Port Hueneme residents want the city of Oxnard (located in the state of California, USA) to enforce ordinance 2906 to protect birds of "global significance" and other migratory birds that nest in the wetlands and in the dunes of Ormond Beach.  Additionally, Oxnard and Port Hueneme residents want the city of Oxnard to protect the endangered tidewater goby fish that live in the Ormond Beach lagoon.  Currently, environmental crimes are taking place.  While clearly prohibited by OCC Ordinance 2906 sec. 7-301, the following violations are occurring: camping, making fire, altering sand dunes and vegetation, and removing signage and fencing.
