Exploring the world, one beach at a time…

About Coast Keepers
Explore. Learn. Protect.

At Coast Keepers, our mission is to inspire a love for marine biology and coastal ecosystems through immersive, hands-on exploration. We believe the best way for children to learn is by engaging directly with nature, which is why we take our lessons to the beach—where science comes alive, and the wonders of the ocean are just waiting to be discovered.
Our Story

Founded by Tiffany Polito, Coast Keepers was born from a passion for environmental education and a love for the ocean. Tiffany recognized the need for a program that not only taught children about marine life but also empowered them to become stewards of the environment. With a deep connection to Southern California's coastal beauty, she set out to create a program where learning goes beyond the classroom, providing children with a deeper understanding of the natural world around them.

Since our inception, Coast Keepers has grown into a trusted resource for families and homeschool groups, offering enriching, educational experiences that spark curiosity and build knowledge about the wonders of marine ecosystems.
Our Philosophy

At Coast Keepers, we believe that:

  • Nature is the Best Classroom – Children learn best through experience, and nothing compares to the excitement of exploring tide pools, observing sea creatures, and seeing marine biology in action.
  • Curiosity Fuels Learning – By encouraging curiosity and providing hands-on opportunities, we foster a sense of wonder that motivates children to dive deeper into their understanding of the world.
  • Environmental Stewardship Matters – We’re committed to teaching the next generation the importance of protecting our oceans and coastlines. Through our programs, we aim to create future environmental advocates who understand the need for conservation and sustainability.
  • Learning Should Be Fun – We know that the best way to engage young minds is to make learning enjoyable. Our programs are designed to be exciting, interactive, and filled with moments of discovery that inspire a lifelong love for the ocean.
