The Coastal Watershed Council is a nonprofit organization committed to the preservation, protection and management of coastal watersheds through establishment of community-based watershed stewardship programs, education and community outreach.  Serving as watershed advocates, the Council promotes the health of these ecosystems through stewardship, advocacy and proper management practices.

The Coastal Watershed Council was formed in response to the declining health of the watersheds of the Monterey Bay region. Our mission is simple: we would like to restore the watersheds of our region and teach our residents how to become stewards of their local creeks and streams.
