The California Coastal Commission enjoyed spending time in Ventura during its public meeting in July. The city’s waterfront promenade provided a stunning backdrop for our three-day hearing. #californiacoastalcommission

This statewide day of cleaning up is more than just an effort to remove trash. It’s a way to protect our water, air, plants, and animals. You’ll be contributing information to science, creating awareness about the dangers of marine debris, and strengthening your community by spending time together.

California’s seabirds are in crisis, and the heroes at International Bird Rescue are racing to save them. Listen: dockside.podbean.com

Happy Juneteenth from the California Coastal Commission! Today, we honor the day when freedom finally reached the last enslaved African Americans, more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation. It is a reminder that the fight for justice and equality never ends.

Did you know that we have an online gallery of magnified sand photos from California beaches? It's amazing what you see when you look close! Have fun exploring at www.coastal.ca.gov/publiced/sand

Thanks to San Pedro for hosting the Commission in May. We enjoyed spending time in your community, which has a rich history of fishing and is home to the Port of Los Angeles. Your charming town provides an important connection between CA and the rest of the world. @portoflosangeles.bsky.social

The program includes school assemblies and classroom lessons that teach students how trash in neighborhoods travels to the coast and ways to reduce plastic pollution culminating in a beach field trip in which they take a “stand in the sand” and send a message through an aerial art project.

Each spring, Kids Ocean Day engages students in California communities who learn about how their neighborhoods are connected to watersheds, beaches, and the ocean. Learn more: www.oceanday.net

Just a moment of gratitude for every California Coastal Steward. Your actions, big or small, impact our coastal communities/habitats. Thank you for protecting our coast and ocean! 💙🐋 📸: Amber Dobson
