Heal The Bay
About: Today, the greatest threats to our coastal waters and watersheds, and to all of us – both human and animal – that rely on the ocean for pleasure, income or sustenance, come from urban and stormwater runoff, plastic pollution, and the ever-increasing stresses to our marine environment from overfishing and climate change. To meet these challenges, Heal the Bay continues to partner with you and thousands of your neighbors in southern California through community action programs such as Nothin’ But Sand and Coastal Cleanup Day and through advocacy efforts to move municipal, state, and federal government and regulatory agencies to act in collective interests. ‘Working together, we can protect and save one of our most precious, natural resources – with your help, we can heal the bay.’
