Hi everyone, Just wanted to pass this along to you guys! Hope everyone is having a great summer!
To you environmentalists out there look at the email below...lots of opportunities to get involved and help make a difference.
Oh, by the way an instructor at SWC has offered to be an advisor for the club...do any of you want to be a part of 2010-2011 Environmental Club??? It would be nice for those of you who are going to be on campus and interested to think about an officers position. It has its perks! You can submit for scholarships and it looks good on your transcripts. Plus you can get some real Leadership Skills!
Oh by the way elections for the Governing Board are coming around so get out and vote! Tell your neighbors and friends! If we don't want to have 40% class cuts we need to take a stand and vote!
Well take care and hope to hear from you!

The 7th Annual Morning After Mess Cleanup was a huge success, with over 750 volunteers collecting 2,300 pounds of trash and 8,000 cigarette butts from San Diego's beaches. San Diego Coastkeeper hosted the Ocean Beach site, where our team brought in thousands of marshmallows and over 200 plastic bags. Since marine wildlife is harmed on a regular basis by ingesting plastic bags, we are working hard to pass AB 1998, which would ban plastic bags in the state of California! Please write to your senator to show your support for this bill or contact 
Last week, Dylan Edwards joined San Diego Coastkeeper as the volunteer and outreach coordinator. Along with his engaging energy and passion for San Diego's natural spaces, he brings experience working with environmental nonprofits and uniting the community in environmental stewardship. Before Coastkeeper, Dylan worked with Ocean Discovery Institute coordinating its Wetland Avengers program, a volunteer-based environmental restoration program in the urban canyons of City Heights. He is a graduate from San Diego State University and is currently pursuing his master of arts from Prescott College. Welcome to Coastkeeper, Dylan.
We are seeking an experienced IT outsourcing company that provides exceptional customer service and ensures best practice. As San Diego Coastkeeper continues to grow, we require service that allows staff to focus on our mission rather than IT problems. Knowledge of the latest technology and specializing in being proactive not reactive is a top priority. We'd love for our IT company to align with our mission, vision and values.
We're looking for volunteers to assist Lake San Marcos residents with monitoring water quality conditions in Lake San Marcos. Separate from San Diego Coastkeeper's Water Quality Monitoring program, this event will be run by Scott Norris of San Diego County. We would love to have San Diego Coastkeeper volunteers who live or work near Lake San Marcos participate in the training on Tuesday, July 13, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Lake San Marcos (and you can participate in regular July monitoring, too). The data collected will be used to develop a plan to reduce pollution in Lake San Marcos and restore water quality in the lake. To RSVP for the training, please e-mail Scott Norris at 
The Water Quality Monitoring volunteer training is full on Saturday, July 17. If you're interested in joining this elite group of volunteers, please sign up for our next training on September 11, starting at 8 am. Returning volunteers, please RSVP if you haven't already. To RSVP or learn more about our Water Quality Monitoring program, contact 
Summer is the busiest time for our beaches and the cleanups too. Mark your calendars for Saturday, July 24, when Coastkeeper volunteers will join our friends at Surfrider for a beach cleanup at the South Mission Bay Jetty. We will be there from 9 a.m. - 11 a.m., and then you can enjoy the clean beach afterwards! PLEASE bring your own bucket and work gloves to reduce waste. 
The public is invited to attend either of two workshops scheduled in July to learn about ongoing planning efforts on the proposed expansion of the San Diego Convention Center. The purpose of the workshops is to gather additional public feedback on urban design, parks, view corridors, waterfront enhancements, public access, eco-friendly design, sustainable practices and other elements. The workshops are part of an ongoing effort to provide public input as efforts to expand the current facility proceed.

Join us on Sunday, July 11 from 11 a.m. - 4:30 p.m., at Flower Hill Promenade in Del Mar for the "Flower Hill Summer Festival," a community event that celebrates summer. A day that's sure to please the entire family, it features an incredible showcase of beach and surf art from local artists, live "beach rock" music performances, fun activities for kids and a fabulous summer fashion show from the shops of Flower Hill. Coastkeeper will be onsite with entertaining activities to teach children about the problem of trash in the ocean and the need for marine conservation to protect sea critters and their underwater home. And, it's all for a fantastic cause-- proceeds from this event will benefit San Diego Coastkeeper, including a portion of the sales from art sold and a donation from the
shops of Flower Hill.
