Introduction
Introduction
Our goals are to protect,
defend, and restore the
waters of Los Angeles for all.”
New Name.
Same Mission.
I
n 1993, Terry Tamminen and his team first started
Santa Monica Baykeeper while patrolling the Santa
Monica Bay - on a single houseboat no less - identifying sources of pollution and taking action to stop it.
Twenty years later our organization has
grown by leaps and bounds, and is now
recognized not only as the defender of
all waterways throughout Los Angeles,
but also as a leading authority on
clean water throughout California and
beyond. However, despite our growth
in size and prominence, our principles
have remained fundamentally the same.
We identify the worst and the most
egregious water quality violations in our
waterways and we use one of the most
effective and efficient tools we have to
protect them – the law.
Since 2004, sewage spills that foul
our rivers and beaches have decreased
in the City of Los Angeles by 83% -- a
direct result of our successful lawsuit
against the City of LA under the federal
Clean Water Act. More recently, we
reached a $6.6 million dollar settlement
with the City of Malibu, requiring the
City to clean-up some of Malibu’s most
frequented spots including the world
famous Surfrider Beach. Whether it
is protecting ocean habitats, endangered species, riverside communities,
addressing impacts from oil drilling,
sewage and trash collection, or advocating on statewide policies related to our
issues, we are there. And not only do we
use the law to achieve our goals, but we
also work to restore creeks and rivers
and our volunteer scuba team works
tirelessly to restore kelp forests along
our shoreline. Our goals are to protect,
defend, and restore for all of Los Angeles and its waters.
With so many far ranging and wide
reaching successes, most organizations
would simply maintain the status quo.
However, that is not how we do things.
We are an organization that relentlessly
fights for what we believe and we are
not afraid to adapt to changing times.
In June 2012, we officially changed our
name from Santa Monica Baykeeper to
Los Angeles Waterkeeper. We believe
this better reflects our mission and
communicates our commitment to all
who live and enjoy waterways in Los
Angeles County.
Thank you for supporting us all these
years. It is because of our supporters
and members that we are able to continue to defend your right to clean water. And the work is not done – so please
join us in celebrating our 20th year and
our big step forward towards a better,
cleaner, and brighter Los Angeles.

W
e are very proud of the many
accomplishments of the organization but
know none of them would ever have been
realized without the tremendous contributions of a select few. Below are some of the
key staff and board members that are truly
responsible for the groundbreaking work
of LA Waterkeeper.
Tatiana Gaur
Tatiana Gaur uses her Master of
Law degree from Sofia University,
Bulgaria and J.D. from UC Hastings
to represent LA Waterkeeper in its
advocacy and litigation efforts for
strong water quality protections and
Clean Water Act permit enforcement. Lately, her work has focused
on industrial storm water pollution.
Michael Quill

the UC Santa Barbara.
Janelle Castro
Janelle joins LA Waterkeeper after
several years in non-profit fundraising and outreach. Originally from
Northern California, Janelle grew up
exploring the forests and beaches
along the Pacific Coast before earning her B.A. in Communication from
Humboldt State, which she currently
uses to develop relationships with
donors, assist in outreach, and
manage the organization’s daily
operations.
Liz Crosson
Liz joined LA Waterkeeper as Executive Director after being introduced
to Waterkeeper’s litigation and
enforcement program through
Lawyers for Clean Water, and has
continued building a distinguished
career through environmental and
ecosystem protection ever since. Liz

your own.
Kelp Project
Restoring Life. Changing Lives.
Masters in Marine Science candidate Toffer McKay has always lived
near the water. However, despite many years of cultivating a love for
the ocean, Toffer attributes his current path not to his upbringing but
an introduction to LA Waterkeeper instead. After many months looking for a non-­profit to volunteer with, get his hands dirty, and spend
time on the water, Toffer came upon the Kelp Restoration & Monitoring Project (Kelp Project) and instantly he knew – this was the group
for him. He immediately earned his certification and began volunteer
diving with the Kelp Project, and since then has become a regular.
“Being a part of Waterkeeper has shown me what a small group of
stakeholders can do,” said Toffer. “As a volunteer here I can see positive change directly and that change has served as my evidence that a
love for the water can become a successful career.”

Litigation and
Advocacy Program
Adversary to Advocate
Adams Steel, which is now part of SA
Recycling, had industrial storm water
violations until LA Waterkeeper’s suit
in 2007 made it take action to bring its
many scrapyards into federal compliance. However, this is not a story about
a legal battle -­it’s a story about turning a
defendant into an advocate. Fast forward
to 2013, and SA recycling is now a role
model for others, having addressed not
only water pollution problems at the
sites in question but also implementing
a company-­wide policy addressing water
pollution at all of their industrial facilities.
“LA Waterkeeper showed us how to take
steps to make our sites better for the
community and the environment, and
as a result this was better for business,”
said George Adams (above, with his
father, George Adams, Sr.), Owner of SA
Recycling. “We believe in Waterkeeper’s
mission of clean and safe water, and will
continue to be their proud supporter and
partner in the years to come.”
Water Quality Monitoring
The Next Generation of Waterkeepers!
Last year, our Drainwatch initiative began a partnership with
the Mar Vista Family Center to educate and empower high
school students through water quality monitoring activities
on Ballona Creek. This program proved to be an eye-­opening
experience for the students, who learned the significant
impact citizen volunteers can have to ensure strong environmental policies protecting their resources and improving
their community. “Many of the students live right next to the
creek, but avoid it because it is unsafe and extremely polluted; so when they first saw the dead pelican in their own
backyard during trash assessment it really hit home,” said
Bart Evans, one of the coordinators of the Center. “Working
with DrainWatch not only taught our students professional
skills and how to be a part of a real scientific process, but
also inspired our community leaders to develop an Environmental Committee to prevent this kind of pollution from
continuing into the future.”
LA Waterkeeper acquires our current boat, a 1976 Radon. Far more
effective and safe!
Lawsuit against
CalTrans is settled,
requiring the agency
to examine 1000 miles
of highways in LA and
Ventura Counties and
reduce stormwater pollution by 20% compared to 1994 levels.
2009
Lawsuit with City
of Los Angeles
for sanitary sewer
overflows (SSOs) is

LA Waterkeeper PRESENTS
CLEAN WATER CASE AT
SUPREME COURT
In December 2012 Waterkeeper took
its mission to a new level by joining
partners at the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) in Washington
D.C. to argue our case against the L.A.
County Flood Control District.
In 2008, Waterkeeper and NRDC
filed a citizen enforcement action
asking the court to hold L.A. County
responsible for the millions of gallons
of polluted runoff that flows through its
storm drain system – the top source of
pollution in southern California waters.
Waterkeeper won in the U.S. Ninth
Circuit of Appeals in 2011, and L.A.
County appealed to the U.S. Supreme
Court. So, in December 2012 Waterkeeper and NRDC traveled to
the U.S. Supreme Court
and made their best
arguments to hold
L.A. County liable for
discharging polluted
stormwater into the
L.A. River and San
Gabriel River.
In early 2013 Waterkeeper was informed
that the Supreme Court
reversed the lower court’s decision and remanded the case back to
the Ninth Circuit. Despite the reversal,
the careful Supreme Court ruling to a
very narrow question did not, in any
way, undermine or weaken the Clean
Water Act, municipal stormwater
Now that southern California Marine
Protected Areas are in place, LA Waterkeeper has taken to the seas with volunteer teams to monitor the MPAs off the
Malibu and Palos Verdes Coasts.
LA Waterkeeper is also engaging
local fisherman, businesses, schools,
residents, and the public about the
current MPA boundaries and communicating with the fishing and
water sports communities about the allowed
uses and expected
benefits of our new
underwater parks.
The MPA Watch
Program serves as yet
another reminder that
LA Waterkeeper is going to continue to serve
as the eyes and ears of Angelenos on the water, ensuring
that new fishing regulations meant to
reverse decades of overfishing practices are adhered to and guaranteeing
that the laws that make our waters the
“national parks of the sea” are understood and followed.
Southern California
MPAs are adopted.
City of Los Angeles reports
more than 80% reduction
in sewage spills as a result
of improvements to its collection system mandated

New laboratory is built
