The Coastal Watershed Council is a small nonprofit environmental services organization formed in 1995 to address the declining health of watersheds connected to Monterey Bay. Its mission is to preserve and protect coastal watersheds through stewardship, education, and monitoring, and its track record includes educating thousands of students and training thousands of volunteers to protect the natural resources along California's Central Coast. Its technical work adheres to state and federal protocols to generate scientifically valid data used by decision-makers, establishing the organization as a trusted authority in watershed protection and river restoration. Based in Santa Cruz, California, the council leverages its expertise to revitalize the San Lorenzo River. In recent activity, it participated in a Restoration Conference in May 2025 to highlight community engagement around urban rivers, reflecting its ongoing focus on public involvement and local watershed stewardship.
