and productive California coast
and Sa

We work in partnership with local governments, other public agencies, nonprofit organizations, and private landowners. To date, the Conservancy has undertaken more than 1,800 projects along the 1,100 mile California coastline and around San Francisco Bay. These projects often accomplish more than one Conservancy goal. Through such projects, the Conservancy:
•protects and improves the quality of coastal wetlands, streams, watersheds, and near-shore ocean waters;
•helps people get to coast and bay shores by building trails and stairways and by acquiring land and easements. The Conservancy also assists in the creation of low-cost accommodations along the coast, including campgrounds and hostels;
•works with local communities to revitalize urban waterfronts;
•helps to solve complex land-use problems;
•purchases and holds environmentally valuable coastal and bay lands;
•protects agricultural lands and supports coastal agriculture;
•accepts donations and dedications of land and easements for public access, wildlife habitat, agriculture, and open space.
