The City of San Diego is dedicated to protecting the beauty of its beaches, bays and waterways, and believes the key to cleaner ocean waters begins with public education. The Think Blue outreach program works to educate residents, businesses and industry leaders about the effects of storm water pollution and steps everyone can take to protect the environment.
