Sanctuary Steward Program


The Sanctuary Steward Volunteer Program is the citizen action arm of Save Our Shores. When individuals join SOS they become part of a dynamic team of motivated staff and volunteers dedicated to the stewardship of the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary. Volunteers bring diversity of experience to our organization. They are the core of our education initiatives.

Sanctuary Steward activities include making school presentations, leading marine debris beach programs, hosting Sanctuary boat tours, spreading the word at community events such as Earth Day, or through developing personal initiatives in ocean protection.

To get questions answered, call the Sanctuary Stewards Program Coordinator at: 831.462.5660 ext 3# or email at volunteer@saveourshores.org.


Here are some words from some of our Sanctuary Steward Graduates!

"The ocean provides me many things-reflection, sustenance, playtimes-and because of this, and by the laws of mutual respect, I want to give back to the big, blue ocean in whatever way possible, while encouraging others to join me along the way." Colleen Bednarz (Class of 2009)



"I live blue because my brain tells me that there are countless convincing reasons that water quality is imporant, and my heart tells me it is the right thing to do." Greg Pepping (Class of 2009)




"I was volunteering at the Oakland Boat Show and I talked to a guy about the North Pacific Gyre and the giant trash heap. When I showed him photos of the trash piling up on the beach, he started to cry. I knew right then that this information touches people's hearts and once they learn about it, they want to make a change in their own lives to make a difference" Bonnie McKinney (Class of 2009)


"We have a motto in my family. We can't do it all, but we can all do a little. Every little bit helps. I can't do it all, but I can do my part." Rachael Anderson (Class of 2008)
