Discover The Wild Coast
Dec 3, 2025 12:00 PM PST
California’s wild coasts are dynamic, awe-inspiring meeting points of rivers, land and sea. TNC works across the state to protect the rugged beauty of these places and the nature they support, from kelp forests to salmon runs, black abalone to mountain lions.
With nearly 40% of California’s coastline still wild—but only 9% protected—there’s much to do to protect these natural gems. Hear from TNC experts about our interconnected efforts to preserve, restore and study our wild coasts. As we navigate a rapidly changing planet, the lessons we’re learning here can help the world.
