The California Marine Sanctuary Foundation (CMSF) is a California-based non-profit organization focused on protecting coastal ecosystems and strengthening coastal resilience amid population growth, urban and industrial pressures, climate change, and resource extraction. It works collaboratively with local communities, government agencies, tribal groups, harbors and marinas, and other NGOs to identify practical solutions that reduce human impacts and promote stewardship of the state’s coastal resources. The foundation emphasizes an interdisciplinary approach to coastal resilience, with core focus areas that include water quality protection, marine resource preservation, science communication and outreach, interpretation and community science, and climate change mitigation. Since its establishment in 1995, CMSF has built value through public-private partnerships intended to amplify impact beyond what single organizations could achieve alone. Recent activity highlights include developing a statewide Environmental Monitoring Framework for floating offshore wind development and launching an online map platform called Whale Atlas to aid mariners in locating whale protection measures. CMSF operates within the non-profit sector and positions itself as a facilitator of cross-sector collaboration to address coastal environmental challenges.
