San Diego Coastkeeper

San Diego Coastkeeper was launched in 1995 as San Diego Baykeeper in order to combat chronic pollution of the San Diego Bay that transformed a once-thriving ecosystem into a highly toxic waterbody. A local, community-based advocacy group, Baykeeper became the 15th approved Waterkeeper program in the country.
