What We Can Do… And Why We Should

Pet Waste

Always pick up after your pet.  You can prevent viruses and bacteria from washing into our creeks and ocean, harming people and marine life.  For more information click here.

Healthy Yards & Beaches

Less toxic pesticides and fertilizers mean a healthier environment, and prevent harmful chemicals from washing off your yard and into the creeks and ocean. For more information click here.

Leaky Cars

Pollution from leaky cars on driveways and streets flows into the storm drain and ends up in our creeks and ocean. For more information click here.

Washing Your Car

Don’t dirty the ocean when you clean the car. When you wash your car on the street, oil and soapy water run into storm drains which lead straight to the ocean. For more information click here.

Low Impact Development (LID)

Low Impact Development (LID) is an innovative storm water management approach using design techniques that infiltrate, filter, store, evaporate, and detain runoff close to its source. For more information click here.
