Coastal Connections 2026: Celebrating Our Coast, Together

Join The Bay Foundation for Coastal Connections as we celebrate the people, partnerships and projects restoring our coast.

Enjoy cocktails and dinner as we highlight recent restoration successes, share what's ahead, and honor leaders making a lasting difference for our ocean and communities.

This year's honorees include California State Senator Ben Allen, Los Angeles County Board Supervisor Lindsey P. Horvath, and Black Surfers Collective's President Greg Rachal and Executive Director Marie Rachal.

Every ticket supports The Bay Foundation's mission to advance innovative, nature-based solutions that restore habitats, strengthen coastal resilience, and benefit both wildlife and local communities.
