News release: California’s Dockwalker Program celebrates 25 years: Join free training sessions and help protect waterways
California State Parks, the California Coastal Commission’s Boating Clean and Green Program, and The Bay Foundation invite the public to participate in California’s Dockwalker Program, now in its 25th year. Free virtual and in-person training sessions will be held from mid-March through May 2025. By joining the program and attending the training, participants provide a critical community service by sharing educational tools to promote clean boating and help reduce water quality impacts. Dockwalkers help raise awareness about important boating practices related to curbing pollutants such as oil, fuel, sewage, trash, and marine debris through the distribution of educational materials, such as the California Boater Kits, at marinas, boat launch ramps and boating events, or anywhere where boaters are.
