Happy New Year to Our Holiday Heroes

Coastkeeper-volunteerThe La Jolla Village News recently spotlighted one of our water quality monitoring volunteers and a board member in its series on Holiday Heroes. We agree that the husband and wife team of Adrian Kinnane and Jo Brooks deserve the title and thank them for guiding our organization to excellence.

If only the newspaper would write a weekly column on all of Coastkeeper's heroes. We think all of you--our volunteers, funders, partner organizations, supporters and friends--deserve the title of Holiday Hero. With you by our side, the community of San Diego Coastkeeper protects and restores the waters of our region. It's an important job that needs a community to make it a reality.

We wish you an enjoyable holiday season this year and look forward to sharing a safe, healthy and accomplished New Year in 2012. We have a lot of work to achieve fishable, swimmable and drinkable water in San Diego. And with our Holiday Heroes on our team—we will get there.
