  • “The California #Waterkeepers are the closest thing to aquatic superheroes that the Golden State’s got” - @vanityfair. That’s right and we’re proud of it! Check-out what we accomplished in 2018! (🔗 in profile) (Photo by: @danielmanssonphotography @vfphoto)
  • Spent the day with @hogislandoysterco to discuss how we can work together to improve water quality, make our ocean more resilient to #ClimateChange, and promote sustainable #mariculture.
  • Big News! Yesterday we secured a statewide goal for California to recycle ALL its treated ocean discharges! That’s 1.35 BILLION gallons of water per day that we are currently wasting to the ocean when we could be reusing it for #cawater supply!
  • With a federal government passing policies that put polluter profits above the public good, strong state laws are our best defense! That is why, today, we are proud to support legislation introduced by the California Senate to lock in bedrock clean water, air, and health laws that protect our communities. #PreserveCA #SB1
  • Yay!! California is receiving much needed rain to increase #cawater supplies. But storms mean polluted #stormwater runoff. Luckily, CA just adopted the most protective stormwater permit in the nation to protect water quality while capturing stormwater runoff for future water supply use. Learn more about this precedent setting permit (🔗 in bio).
  • Today, we joined @waterkeeperalliance and @waterkeepersches in notifying #Trump’s @epagov of our intent to sue because the federal government has failed to regulate drinking water contaminates required under the Safe Drinking Water Act (press release 🔗 in bio).
  • Yesterday we were on the water with #BlueBusinessCouncil Member @hogislandoysterco to learn about all their great work on sustainable mariculture.
  • Not a bad day at the office preparing our talk on protecting California’s waterways from industrial stormwater pollution. #ELSYosemite2018 #trashfree2030
  • Today we are sad to say goodbye to our longtime leader @worstofallsara. She will continue her leadship on water issues at a national level, and we are so proud of her! While she is moving on, Sara will always be part of the #Waterkeeper family.
