Our local waters should be teeming with wildlife, not trash and bacteria. Here’s how we’re bringing the Bay back to life:

• Campaigning for tough legislation that keeps harmful plastic out of the Pacific
• Monitoring water quality at 450 California beaches each week and dozens of freshwater recreation areas
• Pressing local and state regulators to hold polluters accountable

Science-based solutions revitalize neighborhoods, rivers, streams and creeks. Here’s how we’re making waves, inland:

• Advocating for a sensible restoration of the threatened Ballona Wetlands
• Empowering local communities to become advocates for their watersheds
• Inspiring guests at our Aquarium to take action in defense of the natural world

Los Angeles imports over 80% of its water—a number that’s far too high. Here’s how we’re reshaping L.A.’s flow:

• Securing funds for more stormwater capture in our region
• Advocating for water recycling to increase local resilience and reduce pollution
• Educating the public about better alternatives to costly ocean desalination
