2017 Annual Report With the support of 12,000 members and 25,000 active volunteers, Heal the Bay is one of the most effective environmental nonprofits in greater Los Angeles. Driven by consensus thinking, we advocate for practical solutions to often complex problems. Using science-based advocacy, we fight for thriving oceans, healthy watersheds and smart-water management. We conduct hundreds of beach and community cleanups each year, informing people about the root causes of pollution along the shorelines and in their neighborhoods. We advocate for strict water-quality regulations that protect the health of both humans and the animals that call local creeks, rivers and the Santa Monica Bay home. We operate an award-winning aquarium underneath the Santa Monica Pier, inspiring visitors to protect the region’s most important natural resource. We also educate and inspire the next generation of stewards, with more than 100,000 students joining us each year for science-based field trips, classroom presentations and community events. 1444 9th Street, Santa Monica, CA 90401 • (800) HEAL BAY • [email protected] LEADERSHIP A Homecoming, and a Reckoning 2017 marked a return to roots – for Heal the Bay, and for me personally. Last year, I took the reins of one of L.A.’s most trusted and beloved nonprofits. It marked a homecoming for me, returning to the organization where I got my environmental feet wet in the early 2000s. Back then, former president Mark Gold hired me as Heal the Bay’s first science and policy chief, overseeing such victories as the Ahmanson Ranch acquisition and the first trash TMDL in the state. So when the board of directors recruited me to come back, I felt a mixture of excitement, responsibility and surprising calm. I knew our strengths and our weaknesses. I knew where we’d been and where we needed to go. I knew how we would have to rethink old ways of doing things to address new challenges. To my core, I love this organization and my fellow staff members, who work so hard and passionately every day. I understand how important Heal the Bay is to millions of Angelenos, who treasure the beach and our rivers and creeks as much as I do. When Heal the Bay is at its best, then greater L.A. can be its best. When we don’t fire on all cylinders, then our region sputters as well. People rely on us to hold polluters accountable, to protect the animals that call the Bay home and to safeguard our natural places from harm. If not Heal the Bay, then whom? Accepting the job, I knew I was also accepting some significant challenges. The organization has seen several transitions in executive leadership over the past five years, leading to a lack of focus and inevitable mission creep. The uncertain regional economy and cutbacks in government and corporate funding had hurt our operating budgets. I had to make some hard decisions in my first year. I restructured departments to balance our budget, reducing costs to better align with expected revenues. I prioritized our most important role in the community – science-driven advocacy. I instituted internal discipline to ensure that we only worked on issues that directly tied into our three strategic pillars: Thriving Oceans, Healthy Watersheds and Smart Water. In the following pages, you will read about the impact we made last year following this new model. It’s working, thanks to the ongoing support and trust of funders like you. I promise not to let you down as I embark on my second year. Shelley Luce President and CEO OUR WORK For 33 years, Heal the Bay has been the guardian of L.A. County shorelines and inland waterways.

  • Facts About the Malibu Lagoon Restoration and Enhancement Plan
    FACTS ABOUT THE MALIBU LAGOON RESTORATION AND ENHANCEMENT PLAN The project is not intended to “clean up” the water quality for recreation, but it will have water quality benefits for the aquatic ecosystem. The lagoon is not healthy • The lagoon is listed on the federal 303(d) list of impaired water bodies, due to excess nutrients and low oxygen levels. • Data collected continuously since 2006 show oxygen levels are frequently below 5 mg per liter, a level that causes stress to aquatic organisms. • Excess nutrients and bacteria attach to fine sediments that settle on the bottom of the channels. • The excess sedimentation is due to poor circulation. • The poor circulation is caused by the pinch points of fill that support the pedestrian bridges, and by the unnatural alignment of the channels, perpendicular to the main lagoon channel. The only way to correct the poor circulation is to remove old fill and reconfigure the channels to a more natural pattern. • The three channels will be reconfigured into a single branched channel that angles towards the ocean. • A single branched channel will cause the water to move faster and will help prevent excess sedimentation. This is similar to the Venturi effect, where the velocity of a fluid increases as the cross section of the tube carrying it decreases. The work will occur only in the western channels and the Adamson boat house channel, not in the main body of the lagoon. • The sand berm beach will not be changed. • The surf break will not be impacted. • The location of the breach and the timing of breaches will not change.

  • 3.7 Hydrology and Water Quality
    3.7 – HYDROLOGY AND WATER QUALITY 3.7 HYDROLOGY AND WATER QUALITY This section describes the existing setting of the project site and vicinity, identifies associated regulatory requirements, and evaluates potential impacts related to construction and operation of the proposed project. Documents reviewed and incorporated as part of this analysis include the Civil Engineering Initial Study Data (KPFF Consulting Engineers, August 2016, Appendix G), the Sewer Capacity Study (KPFF Consulting Engineers, June 2016, Appendix G), the Geotechnical Engineering Investigation – Proposed Robertson Lane Hotel and Retail Structures, and Subterranean Parking Structure Extension below West Hollywood Park (Geotechnologies Inc, Appendix E). 3.7.1 Environmental Setting Surface Hydrology The City of West Hollywood discharges stormwater via regional underground storm drains into the upper reach of Ballona Creek, a subwatershed of Santa Monica Bay. The Ballona Creek Watershed is approximately 128 square miles in size and is bounded by the Santa Monica Mountains to the north and the Baldwin Hills to the south. The Santa Monica Bay monitoring site for West Hollywood and the other Ballona Creek cities discharging into Santa Monica Bay is at Dockweiler Beach, a site located over 10 miles downstream from the City of West Hollywood. Of the Ballona Creek watershed tributary to this site, 81% is under the jurisdiction of the City of Los Angeles. The other 19% of the watershed area is within the jurisdiction of the cities of Beverly Hills, Culver City, Inglewood, Santa Monica, and West Hollywood; the County of Los Angeles; and Caltrans (City of West Hollywood 2010). Existing stormwater runoff from the project site is conveyed via sheet flow and curb drains to the adjacent streets.

    present the Environmental Media Awards Celebrating OUTSTANDING achievement within the ENTERTAINMENT and ENVIRONMENTAL communities #EMAAWARDS Saturday, September 23, 2017 Letter from the presenting sponsor Good evening ladies and gentleman, On behalf of Toyota and Lexus, welcome to the 27th annual Environmental Media Awards! Tonight we are honored to serve as presenting sponsors and celebrate the 17th anniversary of our partnership with the Environmental Media Association. Over the past 17 years, we’ve helped honor the thought leaders that inspire millions to lead more environmentally conscious lives. Tonight we continue to celebrate the efforts of the entertainment industry and celebrities that shape our culture. After all these years, we are still inspired by EMA’s efforts to promote environmental awareness using the powerful medium of entertainment. Tonight we’ve brought an inspiring vehicle line up to the party. The 2017 Toyota Mirai hydrogen fuel cell vehicle returns to the green carpet. As one of the world’s first mass-produced hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles, the Toyota Mirai is a four-door, mid- size sedan with performance that fully competes with traditional internal combustion engines – but uses no gasoline. Instead, Mirai creates electricity on demand using hydrogen, oxygen and a fuel cell, and emits nothing but water vapor in the process. Lexus is excited to showcase its all-new hybrid luxury sedan, the LS 500h. With smooth power and an estimated 33 miles per gallon on the highway, it has a range of more than 600 miles of luxurious driving.
