What we do
Legal advocacy, habitat restoration, and monitoring, in that order of stubbornness.
Below is a concept, not a real business. One version of what you could build on calcoast.org.
Coastal conservation
Protecting the California coast, mile by mile.
Eleven hundred miles of coastline, protected through access, restoration, and turning up to the meetings where it is decided.

What we do
- Access
Keeping the coast public
Public access is a legal right in California and a continuous negotiation in practice, one blocked path at a time.
- Restoration
Wetlands, dunes, and kelp
Habitat work with measured outcomes, reported whether or not the numbers are flattering.
- Policy
Showing up to the hearings
Most of what happens to the coast is decided at meetings almost nobody attends.
- Volunteering
Days on the sand
Cleanups, surveys, and monitoring. The data comes from people who gave up a Saturday.
How to help
Give, volunteer, or write to a commission before a decision rather than after it.
The coast is public property that has to be defended annually.
Usually at a meeting on a Tuesday afternoon.
Cal is how Californians abbreviate California, and the coast is the thing the state is most identified with. Together on a .org, the name places itself.
Coastal conservation groups in California are numerous, well funded, and permanently in need of a domain their donors can remember, which makes for a real buyer pool rather than a theoretical one.
Some ideas
A few things you could build here
None of these are the "right" answer. They're just starting points, and if you have a better one, we'd genuinely like to hear it.
Coastal conservation
Marine protection and coastal access are active, well-funded causes with organized constituencies.
Regional tourism
The coast is the product, and this is what it is called.
Economic development
A chamber or regional partnership covering the coastal counties.
A community initiative
Anything organizing people around a stretch of coastline has an obvious home here.
If you want it
We can build whatever you have in mind
Most domains are sold by people who only sell domains. Savo Group is a design, software, and marketing company, so if you want calcoast.org live and working rather than parked, that is a conversation we can actually have. Entirely optional, quoted separately from the name, and no hard feelings if you already have a team.
Design and brand
Identity, site design, and the whole visual system. If you have a name and nothing else, this is where it starts.
Software and product
Web apps, platforms, integrations. The thing itself, not just the site that describes it.
Search and growth
SEO, content, and paid acquisition. Getting the domain found once it has something worth finding.
Tick the box on the offer form and we will include some thoughts on what calcoast.org could become when we reply. Or say nothing, and we will just talk about the domain.
Terms
Two ways to acquire it
Not every buyer is in the same position, so the domain is available on any of the following. Tell us which suits you and we will put figures against it.
Purchase
$4,998
Pay in full and own it outright.
- calcoast.org transfers to your registrar account, normally within three to five business days.
- Full ownership from the moment the transfer completes.
- Escrow.com available on request, with the fee split or covered by us on larger sales.
Lease
Agreed with you
Use the domain without buying it.
- We keep ownership and point calcoast.org to your site for a monthly fee.
- The rate depends on the term and what you are building, so we agree it with you rather than publishing one.
- Sensible if you want to test a brand before committing to the full price.
- Cancel with 30 days notice, or convert to a purchase at any point.
Whichever route you take, there is no broker in the middle and no commission added to the price. Offers receive a reply within one business day.
Still thinking about it?
Names like this tend to sit until someone decides they want it, and then move quickly. If you're weighing it up, send a number and start the conversation. There's no obligation on either side.
