Celebrating 30 Years
1996 – 2026
We hope you will join us this year to celebrate the magnificence that is this watershed and the work that has been conducted by Coastal Bays and partners over the past 30 years.
We will be hosting anniversary events, outreach activities, and special projects throughout the year to highlight the program’s history and future goals including a gala celebration Thursday, September 17th.
What began as a small effort by a few passionate individuals has grown into a thriving partnership of citizens, scientists, and policymakers working towards a shared vision: a healthy, sustainable coastal ecosystem that supports both people and wildlife.
As it marks its 30th anniversary, Coastal Bays is looking ahead to the next chapter—addressing emerging challenges such as climate change, sea level rise, and increased coastal development while continuing to protect and restore these vital ecosystems for future generations.
Celebrating 30 years is not just about reflecting on past achievements, it’s about renewing our commitment to ensure the Coastal Bays remain healthy, resilient, and thriving for decades to come.”
We look forward to celebrating all year and hope you are able to join us.
