What We Do

  • Beach Cleanups

    We organize beach cleanups around the Monterey Bay from Big Sur to Santa Cruz, collaborating with schools and other NGOs to maximize effort!

  • Advocacy

    We are working to advocate on local, state, and national levels to petition, enforce and pass legislation that protects the Monterey Bay.

  • Education

    You can find us at events, school assemblies, community clubs, and anywhere else where we can educate and inspire our peers to take action!

  • Paddle-outs

    Our founder organized the first community paddle-outs that met cruse ships when they came to the Monterey Bay.

  • Awareness

    From our online presence, and media appearances, to the stickers, shirts, and swag around our community - we are reminding our friends to Protect Monterey Bay!
