San Diego Coastkeeper’s mission is to protect the region’s bays,
beaches, watersheds, and ocean for the people and wildlife that
depend on them. Coastkeeper balances community outreach, education,
and advocacy to promote stewardship of clean water and a healthy
coastal ecosystem.
Coastkeeper continued its tremendous growth by moving into larger
offices including a state of the art laboratory space. Coastkeeper
also put a new boat into operation, supporting their cleanup and
water monitoring efforts. Coming on the heels of the name change to
Coastkeeper, SDSVP was instrumental in helping redesign the “DNA”
of the organization through their marketing and membership efforts,
board development, technical assistance, and strategic
planning.
As a result, Coastkeeper continues to be the region’s
strongest voice for clean water. In addition to organizing 10,000
volunteers to clean our beaches, last year, Coastkeeper reached a
settlement with the city requiring the city to reduce chronic
sewage spills by 83% and invest nearly $1 billion in collection
infrastructure over the next five years.
“It is remarkable what we have been able to achieve in our
relationship with SDSVP. From changing our name and enhancing our
branding and membership efforts to our move to new offices,
Coastkeeper is a far more effective and sustainable organization
than we were just three years ago.”
