Dear Ocean and Coastal Community,
Pollutants that get carried off buildings, streets, and yards when it
rains is the primary cause of ocean pollution in California. In this
Thank You Ocean Report, Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary’s Bridget
Hoover discusses the First Flush program which monitors pollutants in
storm drains after the first big rain of the season.
