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 donโ€™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.

What is an Emerald Keeper?

A person who cares for our coastal community of Coronado โ€”our Emerald Cityโ€” and works to ensure Coronadoโ€™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 โ€” 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 Coronadoโ€™s sustainability for generations to come, and serve as a model for other communities. Emerald Keepersโ€™ 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.
