Pollutants enter the Bay through many point and nonpoint sources, including discharges from municipal and industrial facilities, storm water and urban runoff, boating, and aerial fallout. The Bay Restoration Plan lists more than 30 priority actions to control major sources of pollution to the Bay. Since 1992, the Project has secured $8 million in bond funding for pollution control projects such as dry-weather runoff diversions from seven storm drain outlets along Santa Monica Bay beaches, a state-of-the-art urban runoff treatment and reclamation facility in Santa Monica, and many devices to capture trash, oil, grease, and sediments in storm drains throughout the watershed. In March of 2000, California voters passed Proposition 12, the Safe Neighborhood Parks, Clean Water, Clean Air, and Coastal Protection Bond Act. Included in the bond measure was $25 million specifically for projects within Santa Monica Bay. To date, the Project has funded almost $3 million for projects that reduce pollutants entering the Bay.
