When I founded WILDCOAST in 2000 with Wallace J. Nichols, never in my wildest dreams could I have imagined the incredible journey we would embark on over the next 25 years. What started as two friends and ocean advocates with a vision, transformed into a 28-person, boots-on-the-ground team of conservationists that have had a big impact in California and Mexico. Today, WILDCOAST has helped to protect millions of acres of coastlines and ocean habitat including gray whale breeding lagoons, sea turtle nesting beaches, wetlands, wildlands, tropical rainforest, islands, coral reefs, and mangrove forests. As we watch our world in the throes of destruction from climate change, our team is fighting these threats with innovative natural solutions. WILDCOAST is dedicated to rewilding blue and green spaces. We stand at the forefront of restoring and regenerating blue carbon ecosystems like wetlands, marshes and mangrove forests that sequester damaging atmospheric carbon. . . CLICK TO READ MORE
