Get Involved

At BC Marine Trails, our strength lies in community. Every coastal recreationist, volunteer, donor, and partner helps protect and connect the coastline we all love. There are so many ways to be part of this work — become a member, join a cleanup, share Site Condition Reports, or simply spread the word about respectful coastal recreation.

Together, we’re charting a future where adventure and stewardship go hand in hand.
