Our shores are facing a new wave of offshore drilling projects, and our forests could soon be opened to massive commercial logging. These are threats to the nature we love—and the home we share. That’s why EDC is here: We are your local, legal voice defending the Central Coast from the mountains to the sea, ensuring clean water, fresh air, open space, and a healthy ocean for our communities and wildlife.

Your donation today during our Year-End Campaign will be doubled up to $100,000, thanks to a generous matching gift from the Dancing Tides Foundation and a group of concerned donors. That means your $50 gift becomes $100, and your $1,000 gift becomes $2,000—twice the impact for this region we all love.

EDC has been working to protect California’s Central Coast since 1977. With an efficient and expert 11-person staff, we take the lead every day to respond to enormous pressures that threaten what makes this such a special place to live, work, and play. You make this possible by supporting EDC—the only nonprofit of its kind in our region—to fight for you and the public interest.

Whether with an Annual Membership, Sustaining Membership, or a one-time donation, your gift today makes a tremendous difference to EDC’s work protecting our local environment for today and for generations to come!
