Our Impact
Beach and neighborhood cleanups are just the beginning. Heal the Bay staff work to mobilize LA’s diverse communities to protect our coastline, restore our waterways, and speak out for clean water policy across our watersheds.
Get Involved
Ripples become waves. When you volunteer with us, your generous time supports ocean and freshwater areas in LA County ensuring they are safe, optimizes how we manage our local water supply, and takes action for equitable access to clean water and green space.
Visit Our Aquarium
Steps from the ocean, an underwater wonderland awaits. Our kid-friendly Heal the Bay Aquarium at the Santa Monica Pier features 100+ species of marine life that live right offshore.
Summit to Sea
When we “Heal the Bay” we start farther inland than you might think. Take an interactive trip with us as we follow water’s journey from the Sierras to the Santa Monica Bay.
Donate
Make a smart investment: a vibrant Bay and a healthier LA. You can donate with confidence because we spend every dollar wisely. Review our financials to learn more.
