Quizás sientes esto
- —Plastic pollution education at school is a poster — your child wants hands-on citizen science tied to real beaches.
- —Transportation to monthly cleanups from inland Sunset Cliffs (on the coast) feels like another unpaid logistics burden.
- —You want grandparents and young kids involved — many events aren't truly family-friendly.
Lo que cambia cuando los jóvenes entran al agua
- Hands-on debris removal with proper supplies: buckets, grabbers, gloves — all provided free.

Por qué operamos este programa en Sunset Cliffs
Sunset Cliffs is an advanced-only surf zone — we do not teach beginners here. Instead, our Sunset Cliffs programming focuses on our Surf Athletic Scholarship athletes and shoreline environmental stewardship at Sunset Cliffs Natural Park, partnering with the San Diego Park & Recreation Department on tide-pool conservation days.

Ocean Stewardship en Sunset Cliffs — Lo que debes saber
Quarterly ocean stewardship workshops in San Diego deepen advocacy and organizing skills for Sunset Cliffs participants ready to move beyond monthly cleanups.
Free ocean stewardship for Sunset Cliffs communities is part of Un Mar's BIPOC-led Cali-Baja movement — coastal access as stewardship right, not eco-tourism product.
Por qué Sunset Cliffs importa para nuestra misión
The ocean off Sunset Cliffs belongs to everyone. Un Mar de Colores exists because San Diego has spent decades telling BIPOC youth otherwise — and we're changing that story one cohort at a time.
Cross-border watershed work matters to Sunset Cliffs because Tijuana River pollution and coastal health don't stop at a border fence. Our education modules name that reality honestly.

Currículo del programa
Ocean Stewardship at Un Mar de Colores connects coastal cleanup action with deeper environmental justice education. Monthly cleanups run across Oceanside, Imperial Beach, Cardiff, and partner sites, with each event combining hands-on debris removal with short teaching moments about the watershed-to-ocean pipeline, the plastic pollution crisis, and California coastal policy. Our Ocean Stewardship program is free and family-friendly, and we specifically prioritize recruitment from BIPOC communities whose relationships with the coast have historically been gated by cost or culture. Every participant contributes to our citizen science database tracking pollution patterns across San Diego County.
