Clean Water Now!

Have you seen/heard of a program called Clean Water Now!? I have been surfing in IB for a good portion of my life, and pollution is a huge problem. Not just in South Bay, but all up and down the coast. WiLDCOAST has a program called Clean Water Now!. They educate the community, hold beach clean ups, rallies, and sponsor local events. Here is a brief description on the reason for Clean Water Now!;

"Tijuana River pollution is a multidimensional problem impacting public health, environment and economy of the San Diego-Tijuana border communities. The Tijuana River watershed is 1,739 square-miles, with 1/4 in the U.S. and 3/4 in Mexico. During rains, trash and wastewater in Tijuana enter the river and flow to San Diego and ultimately into the ocean. Depending on ocean currents, this pollution can impact beach water quality from Playas de Tijuana, Mexico, all the way up to Coronado, in the U.S."

It's never too late to make a difference. Take a look at the website and see if there is a way you can get involved. Everyone can be a part of the Solution! CLICK HERE
