During our early years, Heal the Ocean initiated a "Storm Troopers" program, wherein local students looking for community service hours called us for a Storm Troopers assignment of monitoring storm drains for pollution. This involved scouting, simple inspections, photographing the location and debris; and then e-mailing the pictures to us along with a report. Once we received the reports, we called and reported the pictures and location to the appropriate city or county agency responsible for cleanup and enforcement.
