Two big issues kept Heal the Ocean busy in 2022 – derelict boats hitting the beach and cleaning out abandoned homeless camps. In the coming year, we’ll be continuing these efforts and much more! 

Here is what this past year presented to us:

Heal the Ocean has new, joyful cards to make your gift-giving easy.
This holiday season, Donate to Heal the Ocean in the name of a friend or relative, and we will send this card to them letting them know your gift has been made in their honor!

This week, 3 more boats broke free of their moorings off East Beach and landed at various places on our coastline, including the East Beach Bathhouse and below “Graveyards,” near Butterfly Beach.

During the early morning hours of this past Saturday, the extreme high tide and surf pushed an anchored sailboat onto East Beach, near the foot of the Laguna Creek Channel. While beach-goers escaping the heat looked on at this disaster, Heal the Ocean Field Advisor Harry Rabin began to work on the problem.
