Who We Are
FROM WATERSHEDS TO WHALES
For three decades, CMSF has championed science-based solutions to protect ecosystems and strengthen community resilience, from coastal mountains to the sea. Today, we stand at an inflection point: as climate change accelerates, population pressures grow, and ecosystems strain under historic droughts, extreme precipitation and changing ocean conditions, our work is more urgent—and our impact more critical—than ever.


Help Us Turn the Tide
As we celebrate our 30th anniversary, we boldly declare: the next chapter demands that we do more, learn more, and partner more deeply than ever before. Our seas are changing; our communities are watching. By investing in CMSF’s integrated strategy today, donors and partners become catalysts for a future where whales thrive, beaches endure, and coastal communities stand strong against unprecedented change.
