“Mission Bay is a special place that deserves special treatment.”



Through our collective efforts, we secured $37M from the Environmental Protection Agency and the State Water Resources Board to replace the nearly 100-year-old storm drains and alleviate regular flooding in South Mission Beach. As Chair of the Environment Committee, I appreciate that the new storm drain system will have critical green elements to remove pollutants from the stormwater before it enters Mission Bay, and restores a portion of the sandy beach. Thank you to our Federal and State partners for recognizing our commitment to keeping our waterways clean and our recreation areas safe.

I am proud to lead the City of San Diego in becoming a designated Bee City USA. For this year’s Pollinator Week, I joined UC San Diego Associate Dean, School of Biological Sciences, Dr. James C. Nieh, to talk about our region’s most vital pollinators! 🐝

The City is holding an in-person workshop to share information about pilot projects at La Jolla Shores, Tourmaline Beach, and Mission Beach as part of the City’s Coastal Resilience Master Plan. Feedback from community members will help inform the project designs.
