This week, 3 more boats broke free of their moorings off East Beach and landed at various places on our coastline, including the East Beach Bathhouse and below “Graveyards,” near Butterfly Beach.

JOURNEY INTO THE PAST FANTASTIC WITH HEAL THE OCEAN, SANTA BARBARA!
Heal the Ocean's Honorary Chair Julia Louis-Dreyfus invites you to Journey into the Past Fantastic for Heal the Ocean's Imaginary Gala 2022. It is guaranteed to be the "best party you never went to!"
Watch the above short video, and please join us in this timeless fundraiser.
THE BOAT IS OFF THE BEACH!
During the early morning hours of this past Saturday, the extreme high tide and surf pushed an anchored sailboat onto East Beach, near the foot of the Laguna Creek Channel. While beach-goers escaping the heat looked on at this disaster, Heal the Ocean Field Advisor Harry Rabin began to work on the problem.
Happy Labor Day from Heal the Ocean!
