Making Waves of Change

Ash to Action

In the wake of the devastating 2025 Los Angeles fires, Heal the Bay leaped into action to support our L.A. communities and protect the health of Angelenos and the watershed we all call home.

Heal the Bay remains committed to helping the people, ecosystems, and coastal waters impacted by the fires and ensuring we build L.A. back stronger and more resilient.
