📍 El Segundo · Playa del Rey
Dockweiler Beach
Nurdles — pre-production plastic pellets — wash in from cargo ships and bury into the sand. They look like fish eggs to seabirds. We found 4,200 in a single square meter last month.

📍 Palos Verdes Peninsula
Lunada Bay
Caulerpa taxifolia — the "killer algae" — is smothering native kelp. It arrived in ballast water and spreads 1 cm a day. We hand-pull and bag it before it reaches the reef shelf.

📍 Malibu
Surfrider Beach
Every rain pushes motor oil, fertilizer, and single-use plastic through Malibu Creek straight onto the break. We intercept at the drain mouth and test the water. E. coli counts here have dropped 34% since we started.

People Who Already Showed Up.
"I needed field hours. I stayed because I found a ghost net the size of a pickup truck. We got 14 people to haul it out. That's my thesis now."
Marcus T.
Marine Biology Student, UCLA
"Caulerpa spreads a centimeter a day. The math is brutal. But I've watched community pulls slow that rate. It's the only intervention that actually scales."
Yuki N.
Coastal Ecologist
"My daughter asked why there were so many plastic bags in the water. I didn't have a good answer. Now she's the one dragging ME out of bed at 7 AM."
Priya S.
Parent · El Segundo
"I thought it would be gross. It was gross. But when we weighed the bags — 340 pounds from one morning — I cried. In a good way."
Aaliyah D.
High School Junior · Malibu
"The kelp beds at Surfrider used to be so thick you'd lose your board in them. I've been surfing here 40 years. I'm not going to watch it disappear."
Tom B.
Retired Surfer · Malibu
"I live three blocks from Dockweiler. I'd never once walked down to it. Now I'm there every other Saturday. Turns out it's beautiful when it's clean."
Kevin L.
Software Engineer · Playa del Rey
