How to Get Involved
Become a Coastkeeper - Volunteer
San Diego Coastkeeper believes that we all have a right to live in a clean and healthy environment and we all have a responsibility to join in our environment's stewardship. After all, our environment is where we live. Protecting our watersheds, bays, and shores should be taken as personally as the health of our family, the safety of our homes, and the well being of our neighborhoods. San Diego Coastkeeper encourages citizens to take an active role in protecting our water.

Become a Lookout
You can volunteer on your free time by acting as our eyes and ears to protect our coastal waters by reporting suspicious activities to law enforcement authorities, such as the U.S. Coast Guard and Harbor Police. If you own and operate your own boat, kayak, bike, car or feet, and wish to use these to contribute to Coastkeeper's efforts, we can train you how to conduct patrols that you can carry out on your own.
