San Diego Coastkeeper announced Thursday the creation of a new council that will focus on water pollution impacts throughout the region.
The Community Advisory Council, which is made up of 10 members including Cardiff-by-the-Sea resident Jessica Toth—will focus on finding and fixing water quality issues, according to the Coastkeeper. Toth, a reengineering and sustainability consultant, is the founder of K-3 Roots and Shoots Program.
"San Diego Coastkeeper’s Community Advisory Council will work with us to help us identify and solve the critical issues affecting water quality in our county," said Micah Mitrosky, the Coastkeeper board member who coordinates the council. “By connecting with these volunteers through this collaborative committee, we’re ensuring the organization has direct involvement with the community to solve everyday water pollution problems and empower the community as part of those solutions.”
The Coastkeeper will formally introduce the members at a fundraiser on Nov. 15 at the Del Mar Powerhouse Community Center
