Values 

The San Francisco Bay Area offers rich and exciting diversity, in both human and natural resources. River Otter Ecology Project is addressing inclusion and diversity on our Board of Directors, within our volunteer group, and among the people we serve through our research, outreach, and education projects by engaging in the following actions:

• Our board works on a series of steps to further equity and diversity within our organization.
• Our Board of Directors reflects a diverse range of backgrounds, ethnicities, ages, and skill sets.
• As we solicit new volunteers, we are making additional efforts to include people who reflect our San Francisco Bay Area diversity.
• Our classroom education work specifically strives to for inclusion through our work with Tomales High School.
• We endorse the West Marin Nonprofits Equity Statement and are members of the Coalition for Equity and Justice.
• We are proud members of the California Environmental Quality Act coalition, supporting actions to prevent erosion of environmental protections.
