Environmental groups take aim at Long Beach's annual Big Bang on the Bay July 3 fireworks show, arguing it harms ocean waters and wildlife.
A growing debate over the possible environmental damage caused by fireworks shows, especially over waterways, recently erupted in federal court where climate activists are pushing for stronger regulations of a popular Independence Day celebration in Southern California.
Beaudin said she’s hopeful for a ruling broad enough that it will apply to shows beyond the Big Bang on the Bay. The lawsuit names as defendants event organizers John Morris and the Naples Restaurant Group, which own and run the Boathouse on the Bay restaurant in Long Beach that puts on the annual charity event. They have denied the allegations, court records show.
“The organizers of the Big Bang on the Bay fireworks event are committed to preserving the beneficial uses of the outdoor environment for the public users in Alamitos Bay,” a firm contracted for the event wrote in an August 2022 report to the regional water board. “Based on the results of water testing and debris searches, the Big Bang on the Bay event did not have a measurable deleterious effect on receiving waters within the event area.
