Mission Statement
The mission of Going Coastal is to bring you and your family to the coast, help keep it clean, and teach you about its history. We accomplish this through publications, educational outreach, events, and coastal cleaning projects. We are a dedicated group of volunteers concerned with the evolving state of urban coasts and the low level of awareness and participation by the public, and inadequate available resources for enjoying and preserving coastal resources.
