The Boating Clean and Green Campaign is an education and outreach program that
promotes environmentally sound boating practices to marine business and
boaters in California. As part of its efforts to promote clean green boating,
the Commission facilitates the northern California chapter of the California
Clean Boating Network (CCBN), trains "Dockwalkers" to conduct face-to-face
boater education, and influences the purchasing power of boaters through its
"Shopping Clean and Green" project.
California’s Nonpoint Source Program
The Plan for California's Nonpoint Source Pollution Control Program (NPS
Program Plan) provides a single unified, coordinated statewide approach to
dealing with NPS pollution. A total of 28 state agencies are working
collaboratively through the Interagency Coordinating Committee to implement
the NPS Program Plan.
Interagency Coordinating Committee (IACC)
The IACC is a cooperative working group
composed of 28 State agencies involved in implementing California’s Nonpoint
Source Pollution Control Program (NPS Program Plan). Its goals are to: (1)
Improve interagency coordination and promote statewide consistency in
implementing the NPS Program Plan; (2) Promote the watershed approach in
addressing nonpoint source pollution; and (3) Provide a forum for resolving
policy and programmatic conflicts among State agencies.
California Water and Land Use Partnership
The
California Water and Land Use Partnership is a member of the
National Nonpoint
Education for Municipal Officials (NEMO) Network, which educates local
land use decision makers about the relationship of land use to natural
resource protection, with a focus on water resources.
The California Water and Land Use Partnership was formed by local, state,
and national agencies to develop an educational program linking land use to
water quality. We are working with local communities to develop the tools
necessary to protect natural resources, including water quality, and
community character. The intent is to keep California’s land use decision
makers updated on nonpoint source (NPS) pollution related issues. Natural
resource based planning is introduced as a framework for addressing land use
and water quality issues.
Critical Coastal Areas (CCA) Program
California’s Critical Coastal Areas (CCA) Program is an innovative program to foster collaboration among local stakeholders and government agencies, to better coordinate resources and focus efforts on coastal-zone watershed areas in critical need of protection from polluted runoff.
The Model Urban Runoff Program
The Model Urban Runoff Program (MURP) is a “how-to” guide for local governments to address the issues of polluted runoff in the urban environment. The program consists of a manual and associated workshops that will help small municipalities develop, finance, implement, and enforce a comprehensive program for managing storm water pollution and improving water quality.

The California Coastal Commission is working in partnership with the
California State Water Resources Control Board to implement the State's Nonpoint Source
(NPS) Program pursuant to the 1990 Federal Coastal Zone Act Reauthorization Amendments
(CZARA) and the Federal Clean Water Act. |
