Coastkeeper is an organization that helps keep our coast clean and does regular beach cleanups in the San Diego area. I am working on helping out at some of these cleanups and am planning on interviewing some of the people who work with Coastkeeper along with some of the other volunteers who are helping out in order to get their opinions on the matter.

SurfRider is another organization that hosts beach cleanups that are open to the public. On their website, there is a very interesting and well put together video made by Marty Benson, who is someone I would like to talk to, because i am considering doing a video as well.

Junior Lifeguards is an organization that trains teens with an interest in swimming and the beach to be experienced lifeguards. Although this organization is not geared towards saving the beaches or dealing with the conditions of our water, I would like to interview some of the lifeguards and see if they have ever had the poor quality of our water arise as a problem for them.

Priority number nine of district six of the San Diego City Council is to Protect, preserve and restore water quality in Mission Bay, San Diego River and all water bodies in the City of San Diego. It is focusing now on the Mission Bay landfill, which is an interesting topic that I may want to look into. This is being run by the Mission Bay Technical Advisory Committee.
