The counties of Marin, Sonoma, and Mendocino, along with the Leave No Trace organization, have launched the Cleaner California Coast campaign. This summer’s launch took place in honor of World Oceans Day and is just in time for Plastic-Free July!

The Cleaner CA Coast’s vision is to empower people to create a cleaner and healthier coast by embracing the principles of Leave No Trace. Leave No Trace is an ethical framework encouraging visitors to minimize their impact on the natural environment, wildlife, and local communities, therefore ensuring the preservation of natural resources for future generations. By uniting the three counties, local organizations, businesses, and communities behind a shared purpose, the campaign ensures that individuals receive a clear and unified message regarding responsible recreation practices.
