Danielle Miller joined San Diego Coastkeeper in February 2006 to serve as the organization’s Outreach Director. In addition to overseeing Coastkeeper’s Marine Debris Campaign, Danielle’s management duties include coordinating our twice-monthly beach cleanups, as well as California Coastal Cleanup Day, which she has help grow into the largest volunteer event in San Diego, involving 6,212 participants last year.
Through these events Danielle engages the community volunteers to remove debris from San Diego beaches, keeps track of the types of debris found by volunteers and works to reduce the amount of plastic and other marine debris from entering our oceans through education and advocating for policy change. Danielle also organizes Coastkeeper’s community outreach and fundraising events, serves as the editor of Coastkeeper’s newsletter, Watermarks, and runs their membership campaign.
Before joining Coastkeeper, Danielle managed the preparation of the 2005 Urban Water Management Plan for the City of San Diego’s Water Department (Water Resources Management Program).
She earned her Bachelor of Arts in Geography (Emphasis in Natural Resources and Environmental Policy) from San Diego State University in 2002. While at SDSU, Danielle served as an intern at Coastkeeper (then ‘Baykeeper’), where she assisted with the organization’s Water Monitoring Program, gathering and analyzing the quality of water flowing into both the San Diego and Mission Bays. She also assisted in organizing beach clean-ups and supporting community outreach efforts. Through her work she hopes to spread the Coastkeeper mission of ensuring clean water resources and preserving the health of San Diego’s ecosystems.
