The California Coastal Commission holds monthly public meetings. See upcoming agenda and meeting dates and locations. Meetings are also streamed live online and the videos are archived.

Join a cleanup to protect our coast and ocean, for Coastal Cleanup Day or Adopt-A-Beach, or to clean up your neighborhood or your schoolyard, wherever you are!

You can help uphold the Coastal Act by recognizing and reporting violations. Learn more, and download an informational brochure.

Marine businesses and boaters can learn environmentally sound boating practices in this program conducted by California State Parks and the California Coastal Commission. You can volunteer to help educate boaters on clean and green practices as a Dockwalker.

Educators can access free curricular resources and professional development trainings on coastal topics.

Non-profits, schools, and governmental entities can apply to our annual grants program.

In the winter, you can help with a citizen science project to take photos of the highest high tides of the year, known as King Tides.

In the summer we hold an amateur photography contest and in the winter we hold a student art and poetry contest.
