Emerald Keepers seeks to raise awareness about water and air quality in Coronado. The County of San Diego tests our waters regularly and Emerald Keepers has air quality monitors on homes around Coronado. While we don’t know why our air quality is often worse than cities across the bridge, by publishing this information each week, we may see patterns and begin to understand potential causes.
Sign the SINGLE-USE PLASTICS REDUCTION PETITION
Single-use plastics, once thought of as the height of convenience, are a major contributor to beach and ocean pollution and have profound negative effects on our environment and community.
One of the simplest and most effective ways local communities can reduce plastic pollution is by eliminating single-use plastics, including plastic polystyrene foam, commonly known as Styrofoam.
That’s why eight San Diego County cities have already enacted plastic bans.
Coronado is the only coastal community from Imperial Beach to Oceanside without a plastic ban. Let’s change this.

What is an Emerald Keeper?
A person who cares for our coastal community of Coronado —our Emerald City— and works to ensure Coronado’s sustainability for generations by REDUCING waste, materials, and energy use; REUSING items rather than discarding, RECYCLING whenever possible; REFUSING single-use plastics; and RETHINKING ways of doing things to embrace a greener, cleaner Coronado — one that is Emerald Green, Ocean Blue.
Emerald Keepers is a group of volunteers leading a growing community-based effort to care for our coastal community, ensure Coronado’s sustainability for generations to come, and serve as a model for other communities. Emerald Keepers’ mission is to educate the community to develop and celebrate more sustainable practices and strive to be a model city for the health of our oceans, our beach community, and the world.
