The CA Coastal Commission is charged with protection and regulation of the state’s 1,100-mile coastline, and Eben has served for 24 years as the technical expert for the agency, advising state and local governments, non-profit organizations, and members of industry on actions and programs that can reduce the causes of marine debris, especially plastic. He works with hundreds of non-profit organizations, local government agencies, and corporate sponsors to coordinate beach and inland shoreline cleanups as well as develop long-term policies that will reduce the need for cleanups in the future by stopping pollution at its source.  Mr. Schwartz has a long and broad history of work on plastic pollution and marine debris, topics on which he has become one of the state’s leading authorities. As the leader of California Coastal Cleanup Day, California’s largest volunteer event, as well as the year-round Adopt-A-Beach Program, Eben has helped motivate tens of thousands of citizens to become active in the fight against plastic pollution.  Mr. Schwartz served as advisor and author for the California Ocean Protection Council’s Resolution on Marine Debris.  He also serves as the primary media liaison for the program, responsible for over 400 news, radio, and television placements each year, as well as assisting in raining over $150,000 annually from corporate partners for the program’s budget.

The CA Coastal Commission's Debris Prog. Mgr. Eben Schwartz talks Pollution & Solutions

Welcome to RESILIENT EARTH RADIO where we host speakers from the United States and around the world to talk about critical issues facing our planet and the positive actions people are taking. We also let our listeners learn how they can get involved and make a difference. Hosts are Leigh Anne Lindsey, Producer @ Sea Storm Studios and Founder of Planet Centric Media, along with Scott & Tree Mercer, Founders of Mendonoma Whale & Seal Study which gathers scientific data that is distributed to other organizations like NOAA (National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration). A focus of this podcast series are Nature-Based Economies that help rebalance the Earth and raise awareness about the value of whales, elephants, mangroves, seagrass, the deep seas, waterways and forests - our natural world - towards that rebalancing. This addresses the effects of our own human-caused climate change, and what we can do about it - from simple steps to grand gestures! Global experts, citizen scientists, activists, fisher folk, and educators examine and explain ciritical issues facing our planet and actions people are taking to mitigate and rebalance climate. We discuss the critical role of carbon storage, and how it is essential for all life forms on earth.  This awareness could lead to new laws, policies and procedures to help protect these valuable resources, and encourage economies around them to replace the existing exploitation of oceans, forests, and animals.

Taking positive action, and getting people involved, that's our goal.
