Help protect our coastal waters and beaches from the trash and contaminants in stormwater that make people sick and threaten marine life.
Modernize our 100 year-old water system infrastructure, using a combination of nature, science, and new technology.
Help protect public health, ensuring safer, greener, healthier, and more livable spaces for all, and
Prepare our region for the effects of a changing climate - including recurring cycles of drought, wildfire, and flooding.
