the Bay activities:
•
Scientific
& legal experts
Our experts work daily on science
and policy issues to
achieve the goal of clean and safe
Southern
California
coastal
waters. This work has been instrumental
in improving local water quality by
pressuring for improvement of local
sewage treatment plants, enforcement
of water pollution laws, and identifying
other sources of coastal pollution.
•
Volunteer
programs Our volunteer programs, such as
as the Malibu
Creek Stream Team, utilize
volunteers in water chemistry testing
and watershed mapping, while Coastal
Cleanup Day and Adopt-A-Beach programs
employ volunteers in a hands-on approach
to keeping beaches, rivers, and creeks
debris-free.
•
Educational
programs Our Key
to the Sea and Speakers
Bureau programs spread the word
about pollution prevention and coastal
stewardship
to more than 35,000 people of all ages
every year. Heal the Bay's renowned
Beach
Report Card grades water quality
on an A-F system at over 450 locations
along the California coast, showing
where it is safe to swim and surf.
All
this work takes a consistent, committed effort...and
you can help. Join
now and be part of the solution and help
make a difference in the quality of our Southern
California coast!
