When it rains in L.A. County, millions of gallons of water flow over paved surfaces like rooftops, sidewalks, parking lots, and streets. This "urban runoff" picks up animal waste, metals, oil, toxic materials, bacteria, and pathogens, carrying them to our storm drain system to be dumped into our local rivers and beaches, usually with little or no treatment.

Shop at any one of the three Santa Monica Whole Foods Market locations on Thursday, March 22nd and they will donate 5% of store net sales to support Heal the Bay's Santa Monica Pier Aquarium.

Celebrate Earth Day by cleaning the beach and collect a reward for your efforts: FREE admission to our Aquarium.

This event is at capacity. Please visit our calendar for many other cleanup oportunities this spring.
