The July 2016 Soberanes Fire was caused by unknown individuals who started and lost control of an illegal campfire in the Garrapata Creek watershed. After it burned 57 homes in the Garrapata and Palo Colorado Canyon areas, firefighters were able to build lines around parts of the Big Sur community. A bulldozer operator was killed when his equipment overturned during night operations in Palo Colorado Canyon. The policies protecting land used in Big Sur are some of the most restrictive local-use standards in California, [15] and are widely regarded as one of the most restrictive development protections anywhere. [16] The program protects viewsheds from the highway and many vantage points and severely restricts the density of development. About 60% of the coastal region is owned by governmental or private agencies which do not allow any development. The majority of the interior region is part of the Los Padres National Forest, Ventana Wilderness, Silver Peak Wilderness, or Fort Hunter Liggett. The area is protected by the Big Sur Local Coastal Plan, which preserves it as "open space, a small residential community, and agricultural ranching." [14] Its intention is "preserving the environment and visual access to it, the policies of the local coastal plan are to minimize, or limit, all destination activities." [137]

Another notable landmark is Point Sur Lightstation, the only complete nineteenth century lighthouse complex open to the public in California. [56] Like underwater parks, these marine protected areas help conserve ocean wildlife and marine ecosystems. The region is protected by the Big Sur Local Coastal Plan, which preserves it as "open space, a small residential community, and agricultural ranching." [14] Approved in 1986, the plan is one of the most restrictive local-use programs in the state, [15] and is widely regarded as one of the most restrictive documents of its kind anywhere.

About 60% of the coastal region is owned by governmental or private agencies which do not allow any development.

During the first survey of the coast conducted by the U.S. Coast Survey in 1886, the surveyor reported:

In 1848, two days after the discovery of gold at Sutter's Mill, Mexico ceded California to the United States as a result of the Mexican–American War.

The off-shore region of the Big Sur Coast is protected by the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary. Within that sanctuary are other conservation areas and parks. The onshore topography that drops abruptly into the Pacific continues offshore where a narrow continental shelf drops to the continental slope in only a few miles. The ocean reaches a depth of more than 12,000 feet (3,700m) just 50mi (80km) offshore. Two deep submarine canyons cut into the shelf near the Big Sur coast: the Sur Submarine Canyon, reaching a depth of 3,000ft (910m) just 8mi (13km) south of Point Sur, and Partington Submarine Canyon, which reaches a similar depth of 6.8mi (10.9km) offshore of Grimes Canyon.

Fire plays a key role in the ecology of the upper slopes of the Big Sur region's mountains where chaparral dominates the landscape. [191] It is known that Native Americans burned chaparral to increase food production and promote grasslands for textiles, but little is known about the natural frequency of fire in the Santa Lucia Mountains. [10] :269–270 [192] A study of fire scars on sugar pines on Junipero Serra Peak found that at least six fires had burned the region between 1790 and 1901. [193] During the Spanish and Mexican era the Native Americans set fires regularly in coastal and valley grasslands to control brush growth and reduce fire risk. [193] The European homesteaders followed that tradition and set controlled burns every winter when conditions were right. [194] FEMA team assesses wildfire damage after the Basin Fire, 2008
