Trash Interceptor x2

We already contributed to getting a trash interceptor installed at the mouth of the San Diego Creek to protect Newport's Back Bay, Harbor, and Upper Newport Bay Nature Reserve. (Concept on the right).

Now we are working with elected officials, two counties, multiple cities, and various heads of public works to get two more in our area. Making your donations help protect our section of the Ocean, waves, and beaches.

The next location will be the inside the San Gabriel River which splits LA County in half with the help of Assembly Members Diane Dixon and Josh Lowenthal, Supervisor Andrew Do, the Cities of Seal and Long Beach, and LA/OC Public Works.

After that we will be working on having one inside the Santa Ana River stopping trash that flows down from Big Bear to the border of Huntington/Newport Beach.
