Mission

Save Our Shores is dedicated to fostering a thriving Monterey Bay and Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary by stewarding clean shores, healthy habitats and living waters.

The Big Idea

Save Our Shores is dedicated to fostering a thriving Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary by stewarding clean shores, healthy habitats and living waters. They are launching a campaign to empower youth to address our climate emergency and the worsening impacts on our marine environment in order to ensure a livable planet for their future. Their major goal is to help young people educate public leaders about the issues of most concern to their generation. They help students to develop the skill sets they need to become the next generation of ocean stewards, utilizing social (and traditional) media messaging, attending and speaking at government meetings, and organizing marches, rallies and calls-to-action. It is their belief that this is the only way for the next generation of leaders to turn around the rapidly evolving climate crisis.

Great news! Our students have been chosen as Presidential Environmental Youth Award winners for their work to reduce threats to the humpback whale. This award wouldn’t have been possible without your expertise, support and guidance. Having community partners like Save Our Shores is what inspires our students to make a difference.
