Organized and run by HTO JC programs director Megan O’Meara, over 50 people showed up and cleaned the Santa Barbara waterfront beaches, going both east and west from the foot of Stearns Wharf. Even tourists grabbed bags and helped! Marborg donated trash pickup service, and Santa Barbara Shellfish Company donated 25% of tabs from diners who mentioned the beach cleanup that day! Thank you, one and all!

In our early days he got out in the field with us, created the first septic system map for Santa Barbara as a gift from Heal the Ocean to the Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors, invented the Abtech storm water filter and set about on foot to investigate Montecito creeks to see if a test area could be done for a Heal the Ocean “Adopt-a-Drain” program. With his wife Francesca Cava (a NOAA captain), he brought in the huge NOAA ship MacArthur, to anchor over the Montecito sanitary district outfall in 30 feet of water, so that Francesca could pilot from its deck the Deep Rover submersible to film the outfall. John did all this with and for us – and more. We will love him forever and miss him greatly. Please read about John in this article on Santa Barbara on-line news outlet, The Independent, written by HTO executive director Hillary Hauser, with the help of Francesca. Francesca has asked that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to Heal the Ocean in John’s memory. You can donate here.

We moved on Friday, December 17. Next time you come to a matinee (Black Swan is now playing) – come up and see us! The best part of this move is that it has eliminated need for parking permits and this, together with our new rent, has cut this category of cost nearly in half! Big thanks to SendPepper, a fast-moving high tech company for subleasing us this fabulous office, and a huge thank you, too, to Christos Celmayster of Hayes Realty for making this all happen! All mail: P.O. Box 90106, Santa Barbara, CA 93190. The rest of our contact information stays the same: phone (805) 965-7570 fax (805) 962-0651 e-mail: info@healtheocean.org.
