Acknowledging our presence on unceded lands is a hand of respect for the wisdom and knowledge of those who came long before us. The future of our coastal shores and its amazing wildlife need those voices now more than ever. #indigenous #nativecalifornia #marineconservation #wildlifeconservation

Durable surfaces are resilient and resistant, which is why they matter. Staying on designated trails keeps our impact where the land can handle it and protects the surrounding habitat. #EnjoyYourWorld #LeaveNoTrace #outdooreducation

This Thanksgiving and Native American Heritage Month, we’re reflecting on gratitude, reciprocity, and responsibility — to each other, to the coast, and to the Indigenous peoples who have stewarded our lands for generations. Learn whose land you’re on: native-land.ca #ZeroWasteThanksgiving

Through the end of December, come to the Bear Valley Visitor Center at Point Reyes National Seashore for the final exhibit of our 2025 Coastal Art & Poetry Contest winners. And oh yeah, I guess you should check out the seashore while you’re there too.

Another successful mission at the Golden Gate to pull acoustic samples, conduct wildlife surveys and visual observations. Thanks to our friends at the @sfestuaryinstitute.bsky.social for offering an EXO2 sensor to test the waters for salinity, temperature and dissolved oxygen. bit.ly/4ixBr9O

Natural objects of beauty or interest, such as antlers, petrified wood, or colored rocks, enhance the experience of an outdoor area and should be left for others to enjoy a sense of discovery. Admire it. Appreciate it. Then leave it be. #EnjoyYourWorld #LeaveNoTrace #protectpubliclands

👻 Celebrate the Spooky Season Sustainably. Make simple swaps that help keep our coastlines clean. Celebra la Temporada Espantosa de Manera Sostenible. Este Halloween, haz pequeños cambios para mantener limpias nuestras costas. 🌊 #EcoFriendlyHalloween #SustainableHalloween #HalloweenSostenible

Let’s recap California Coastal Cleanup Day 2025! Great job to everyone who volunteered and continues to care for our coast and waterways. Thank you for your stewardship and protecting our coast and ocean. (🧵) #coastalcleanupday

Marine protected areas (MPAs) are like underwater nature preserves, where ocean life gets a fighting chance to recover. MPAs are central to the 30×30 conservation goal. Why are they so effective, and what do they actually look like? Read more: sonomalandtrust.org/enews/october-2025 NRDC

🌧️ Rain causes stormwater runoff to carry litter, oil, and chemicals into rivers and oceans. To reduce pollution, practice Leave No Trace: 💙 Dispose of waste properly 💙 Use natural or no pesticides and fertilizers 💙 Pick up after pets 💙 Secure outdoor items cleancalifornia.dot.ca.gov

During the government shutdown, many public spaces remain open, but they need us more than ever. With limited staff, every small action matters. Durante el cierre del gobierno, muchos espacios públicos permanecen abiertos, pero ahora nos necesitan más que nunca. lnt.org/surviving-the-shutdown-2025

As the seasons shift, wildlife is on the move—migrating, nesting, and preparing for winter. Small disturbances can change wildlife behavior for years. Use the "thumb rule" and give animals space. Learn more in our free Leave No Trace 101 Course → zurl.co/tYtHL

Governor @gavinnewsom.bsky.social has signed AB 1056, a bill introduced by Assemblymember Steve Bennett and co-sponsored by RRI and @oceana.bsky.social. This victory protects hundreds of marine species while supporting a fair transition for fishermen. rri.org/newsroom/ab-1056-signed

Our @lnt.org values come from indigenous caretakers who have long protected these lands and now lead stewardship. We’re grateful to learn from and work alongside local tribal partners in building a future rooted in respect, reciprocity, and reverence.

Hi King Tides Community! We need your help to photograph the upcoming King Tides. Your photos help us understand what's vulnerable to flooding today, plan for future sea level rise, and get us all talking and thinking about the impacts of the climate crisis. What can we do to make a difference? (🧵)

The dedicated professionals across all our public land agencies are truly the heart and soul of these incredible places. They do so much more than just keep the parks running. They are our educators, teaching visitors about the natural world and why it matters. #protectpubliclands #leavenotrace

When Congress fails to fund the federal government, agencies like NOAA & Fish & Wildlife can’t protect our oceans or communities. A shutdown stalls research, rescue and restoration... leaving wildlife & families at risk. Read more about what a shutdown means for our environment in the blog below.
