SAN DIEGO, July 31, 2012—On August 5, San Diego Coastkeeper hosts Clear Blue 2012 to celebrate swimmable, fishable and drinkable waters in San Diego County and the 40th anniversary of the Clean Water Act.

The Clean Water Act was established as the basic structure to monitor the discharges of pollution into American creeks, rivers, lakes and ocean and then regulate the quality standards for those bodies of water. Clean Blue 2012 will help San Diego Coastkeeper spread awareness of water quality issues in San Diego, while enjoying the county’s aquatic playground that drives the tourism economy.
