Other Ways to Help

• Take the Coastal Stewardship Pledge to protect the coastal environment. You may download the pledge from www.coastforyou.org.
• Recruit friends, family and co-workers to volunteer at ILACSD events like Creek to Bay and Coastal Cleanup Day, further cementing your commitment to a clean San Diego!!
• Reduce, reuse, and recycle at school, home, and work. Less trash generate means less of it ends up at the beach and in our oceans.
• Buy recycled products that contain the least amount of packaging in order to preserve natural resources.
• Never pour or throw things down storm drains—they drain to beaches and are not filtered or treated before entering the ocean.
• Throw cigarette butts in ashtrays and trash cans—never on the beach or street.
• Properly dispose of fishing lines, nets, and hooks to keep marine mammals free from entanglement and harm.
• Buy a “Whale Tail” license plate on the California Coastal Commission website. Proceeds support year-round cleanup efforts. Visit www.coastal.ca.gov for more information.
