Costa Salvaje / Wild Coast is a nonprofit on both sides of the Mexican-US border and their mission is to protect and preserve coastal ecosystems and wildlife in the Californias (US state of California and Baja California, Mexico) and in Latin America by

  • Building grassroots support
  • Conducting media campaigns
  • Establishing protected areas

One of their main areas of concern is the Tijuana Valley watershed, which is a major contributor to the plastic pollution that contaminates the ocean and beaches in the border area and beyond.

Please check out their websites at Costa Salvaje / Wild Coast and also the videos on their terrific YouTube channel, and support their work.  We are excited to start exploring synergies between Costa Salvaje / Wild Coast and the work of other members of the coalition.

Bienvenidos! Welcome! Onward! Adelante!

PS: with our new friends comes the invaluable help of several Mexican celebrities, including El Hijo del Santo, a larger than life character in Mexico and beyond. Enjoy the video!
