Join us this Saturday, July 23rd, for a Latino Conservation Week Clean-up!

Latino Conservation Week was created with the goal of supporting and getting our community into the outdoors and participating in activities to protect our natural resources. People of color are greatly unrepresented and excluded in the outdoors due to the lack of accessibility. Environmental conservation comes in so many forms. Help us promote this and other conservation efforts to show our support for permanently protecting our land, air and water.

As a coastal region, our local economy and way of life depend on the health of our beaches and bays. But our waters and our access to water are in danger. Our region suffers from the effects of climate change, pollution, and underfunded infrastructure. Stormwater pollution is San Diego's most persistent threat to our coastline and ecosystems. Join San Diego Coastkeeper to discuss where our water comes from, where it goes, what water equity is, and what community-driven solutions are available.
