California Coastal Stories charts the contributions, histories and stewardship of people of color and allies who shaped the coast, its culture, history, public equity, responding to marine and ocean degradation, and crafting today's California.
California Coastal Stories is the impact project for the feature documentary, Martins Beach, that takes a personal look at California's Coastal Act, celebrating its 50th Anniversary in 2026.
Both the documentary and impact project will be released in 2026.
