For just $50 more than the standard registration fee, you can support the preservation and restoration of a California treasure: the California coast. Purchasing a Whale Tail environmental license plate for yourself or as a gift is great way to show your support for the environment while making a real difference in environmental causes in California.

The funds generated from ecoplate sales directly benefit environmental restoration, recreation, and coastal and marine education programs. The DMV distributes funds from the sale of ecoplates to the California Coastal Commission, the California Coastal Conservancy and to the California State Environmental License Plate Fund.
