COASTAL FUND

Highlights from the The Coastal Fund’s (CF’s) mission include providing funds to preserve, protect, and enhance the terrestrial and marine habitats associated with the shoreline of UCSB through preservation, education, open access, research, and restoration.

Coastal Fund funds are used for AS sponsored environmental projects. They are also available to groups and individuals for research or to provide these services. Typically when grants are funded they include a provision for the employment of UCSB students as part of the proposed projects. For detailed information on this year’s funded project, please click here.

CF also funds the CF Coastal Service Program. The Coastal Service Program gives student organizations the opportunity to raise money while maintaining their local community!

Students can participate in a beach or street cleanup and receive $100 for their group or can work with a local environmental organization in a restoration project to receive $200. All that CF asks is for is a brief summary of the group’s experience and pictures to document the project. Organizations can participate in one restoration project or beach/street cleanup per quarter. It’s an easy and fun way to fundraise, while contributing to the enhancement of the UCSB campus community!
