Become a Humboldt Baykeeper Docent! Our docents lead small-group, bay-oriented boat tours for people of all ages. This is an opportunity to share your passion for the Bay with others by educating them about the Bay and the work Humboldt Baykeeper does to protect and enhance the health of this amazing place we all call home. Our experienced docents will teach you about the history, ecology, geology and other aspects of Humboldt Bay, as well as how to convey your knowledge to others.
Our annual Docent training will be held Saturday, April 10 and Sunday, April 11. We will meet all day Saturday and part of the day Sunday. For more info, call 268-8897, e-mail

Humboldt Baykeeper is working hard to protect our environment but we can't do it alone- we need your help! Become an advocate for the environment and report spills you see in our community to the Stormwater Pollution Hotline. To report a spill, call the the North Coast Stormwater Coalition at 707.441.4192 or 1.877.NCSC.001 (1.877.627.2001). Polluted runoff from streets, parking lots, and yards—also called "stormwater pollution"—is channeled into the storm drain system that empties directly into our creeks and sloughs, which flow to Humboldt Bay and the ocean. Storm drains are separate from sewer systems, so stormwater flows into our coastal waterways UNTREATED! For more information check out the North Coast Stormwater Coalition. Soapy runoff from car washes can harm water quality. Still, there's no problem with keeping your car clean! How and where you wash it can make a big difference.
If you can, go to a commercial car wash. They are equipped with drains which take water to be treated. If you do wash your car at home, use biodegradable soaps sparingly, and save water with a hose nozzle. When you're done, pour your bucket of water down an indoor drain instead of outside. Wash your car on grass or gravel to help the ground naturally filter the water. |
