Our Positions on Water Issues
Water surrounds San Diego--that means we have a lot of work to do. As the leaders on inland and coastal waters issues in San Diego, we want to share our positions on these issues so that you know where we stand.

Aquaculture: Fisheries hope that aquaculture--the controlled cultivation and harvesting of fish in designated facilities--can help supply the world with fish to eat. We believe the practice has the potential to exacerbate the current ocean crisis. Read our position on offshore aquaculture and possible federal aquaculture legislation. |
Fireworks: We understand the historic nature of and the public's fondness for fireworks displays and want to ensure those displays occur in a way that doesn't compromise water quality. Read about San Diego Coastkeeper's position on firework displays in San Diego. |

Seals at Children's Pool: A jewel along the La Jolla coastline, Children's Pool at Casa Beach attracts both human beachgoers and a harbor seal colony, a somewhat contentious gathering. Read San Diego Coastkeeper's position regarding the protection of the harbor seal colony and rookery at Children's Pool. |
Indirect Potable Reuse vs. Desalination: We support a diverse water supply portfolio. However, with the region’s limited resources, San Diego County’s immediate capital investment—and corresponding rate increases— should focus on potable reuse projects. Read San Diego Coastkeeper's position on indirect potable reuse in relation to desalination. |
