Coastal Steward Tip
Divert rainspouts from paved areas to areas with vegetation in order to increase infiltration of water into the soil and reduce polluted run-off into storm drains. Do a street cleanup in between rainstorms to keep storm drains clear of debris. Catch that trash before it gets to the ocean!
