Dedicated legal practitioners at all levels work together through the Environmental Law & Policy Clinic on behalf of San Diego Coastkeeper's mission - to preserve the integrity of our regional water bodies. Victories are not solely the product of court proceedings. In many cases, the threat of litigation backed by sound legal research and knowledgeable legal allies creates the opening for a positive resolution. Each of Coastkeeper's partners in this effort - whether an eager law student or experienced civil litigator, a local grass roots organization or a powerful national advocacy group - plays a crucial role as part of the Coastkeeper team maintaining a watchful eye over our precious natural resources.
