HEAL THE BAY

Santa Monica, California, 90401-2707 United States

Mission Statement

Heal the Bay is an environmental nonprofit organization based in Santa Monica and founded in 1985 with a diverse team of staff, Board of Directors and volunteers.

About This Cause

Heal the Bay's mission is to keep southern California's coastal waters and watersheds, including Santa Monica Bay, safe, healthy and clean. In order to fulfill our mission, we use science, education, community action and advocacy. Our fight encompasses a wide-ranging set of challenges to our ocean. Foremost on the list: the harmful and wasteful runoff from the miles and miles of streets, and thousands of gutters and catch basins that make up our urban storm drain system here in Los Angeles County and beyond. Our focus has expanded to tackling the growing volume of marine debris, especially plastic trash spreading further and further afield, and to protecting our local oceans against rampant depletion from overfishing and destructive uses such as industrial intakes from once-through cooling and desalination plants. While the issues we face continue to evolve, the tools we use to continue to fulfill our mission remain unchanged.
