Heal the Bay is an environmental nonprofit focused on protecting and improving the quality of Los Angeles’ coastal waters and watersheds, including Santa Monica Bay. It pursues this goal through monitoring, research, education, and community action to reduce pollution and promote responsible water stewardship. Founded in 1985 by local residents in response to concerns about sewage treatment at the Hyperion Treatment Plant near El Segundo, the organization has evolved from a volunteer-led effort into a larger staffed entity with a broad volunteer base. Based in Santa Monica, California, the nonprofit engages residents and partner organizations in efforts to address beach pollution, particularly from storm drains. A recent development is a partnership with the City of Santa Monica to create a dedicated Task Force focused on identifying pollution sources and advancing long-term solutions.
