There are many organizations around the world that help keep our oceans clean. Some of these are based in the Santa Monica Bay area and dedicated to helping keep our bay clean. They include:
· Heal the Bay is a nonprofit organization that is dedicated to keeping Southern California coastal waters clean and safe. They helped to ban carryout plastic bags, and they are currently dealing with urban runoff, which carries bacteria, chemicals, and trash into the ocean everyday. www.healthebay.org
· Team Marine is a club at Santa Monica High School that helps keep the beaches clean from pollution. It is headed by Ben Kay and consists of students at Samohi who want to help reduce pollution in the ocean. www.teammarine.org
· The Surfrider Foundation is an organization that helps protect oceans, waves, and beaches. They are people who love the beach and don't want to see it get destroyed. They started an organization and are now doing the same thing in about 18 countries around the world. www.surfrider.org
