Protecting and sustaining the unique lands,
waters, and biodiversity of West Marin

The Environmental Action Committee of West Marin (EAC) is a 501(c)(3) environmental nonprofit centrally located in Point Reyes Station, California, the gateway town to the only national seashore on the West Coast.

Since 1971, EAC has remained engaged in the protection of West Marin’s unique lands, waters and biodiversity through advocacy, engagement and education. Located just an hour from San Francisco, our work focuses on large scale environmental threats (i.e. land-use, coastal protections, and climate change) facing the unincorporated coastal communities of West Marin from Dillon to Muir beaches. West Marin is the largest rural region of Marin County, California, and is home to approximately 16,000 people, or about 6.5% of the population of Marin County, and receives over 2+ million visitors a year in search of respite, relaxation, and recreation. 

As one of the only local environmental nonprofits taking on multi-year, and sometimes decade-long campaigns to address environmental threats, we provide an essential voice on behalf of West Marin’s priceless natural resources. We accomplish our work by bringing people, science and policy together to protect vital ecosystems, defend critical legislation, enforce accountability of our leaders and legislators, and rally our members to become stewards of their community. Often our efforts are not fought overnight, so your long-term support and generosity is critical to our ongoing efforts to ensure environmental protection measures are in place and lasting, especially as we mitigate and adapt to climate crisis.
