The Coastal Conservancy has released its 5 year plan for 2023-2027 and requests comments until october 1, 2022

​The purpose of the Strategic Plan is to provide an overall vision for our agency and quantified objectives to measure the effectiveness of our work. The Strategic Plan articulates our view of the future of the California coast and its watersheds over the next five years—including the opportunities to improve resilience to climate change and to promote environmental equity and justice.

The Coastal Conservancy has been guided by a five year Strategic Plan for the past twenty years. The current plan was adopted in November 2017 and set goals and objectives for 2018- 2022. It is now time for the Conservancy to adopt a new Strategic Plan for the five year period of 2023-2027.
The Strategic Plan update creates an opportunity for the Conservancy to hear from our partners – nonprofit organizations, tribes, local governments, community groups, state and federal agencies, private landowners, conservation organizations, other conservation funders, and the public – about their vision and priorities for our work.
The plan can be found here.  SCC welcomes your comments on this draft between now (August 15, 2022) and October 1, 2022.  Please use the form here to submit comments.  Comments can also be emailed to StrategicPlan@scc.ca.gov.

The Conservancy hosted a webinar on March 28, 2022 to kick off the strategic planning process.  The webinar discussed the process of developing the plan for 2023-2027, the Conservancy’s role, and the resources that may be available to us in the next five years.
The recording of the webinar can be found here.
The Conservancy held several listening sessions and Focus Groups in April, May, and June to get input from partners on specific topics or focal areas.  Over 1,000 individuals participated in these sessions.  A report on this process and the key themes that emerged can be found here. ​
