Established in 1998, Heal the Ocean focuses on wastewater infrastructure- sewers and septic systems-as well as ocean dumping practices that have contributed to ocean pollution. We are focused on Santa Barbara County, but our methods are now serving as a model for other coastal communities across the country.

Heal the Ocean is leading the way toward cleaner ocean water by working to improve wastewater infrastructure. Our team includes engineers, lawyers, scientists and university laboratories to help locate sources of pollution, assess their significance and find solutions. Our work is a response to a groundswell of public opinion and support from people who believe that clean oceans are a birthright for everyone. This short film is a tribute to these everyday, motivated, supportive people.
