Yes on Measure Z- Protect Our Water


Protect Monterey County is a Citizens Initiative working to safe-guard our water, protect our county's agricultural production and assure a bright, healthy future for Central Coast families.

Fracking and other high-intensity, unconventional petroleum operations put our future at risk.

In the absence of strict state and county regulations we, the people, have no choice but to take the protection of our health, our environment, and our thriving local economies into our own hands.

It's super-important to gather up those signs!
Although hundreds of Yes on Z signs (including 3 billboards!) disappeared, we put out thousands. Here's hoping you've collected the signs you placed to help avoid the threat of fines and ill will. Call 831-224-3125 for how to recycle.

Now that voters have chosen a president who believes climate change is a hoax, it is more important than ever that communities stick together to protect our people, our resources, and ensure a healthy future for all. We've proven it can be done against great odds. Stay connected!
We are 100% volunteer and depend on your participation to sustain our efforts!
