Linda Mar Water Quality Part 1: Community Science for Community Health
Facilitator: Adriana Guerrero-Nardone and Jessica Knox (staff of Salted Roots) Date: Thursday, September 10th Time: 6:30pm – 7:45pm Location: Virtual
This workshop will walk participants through the Linda Mar Water Quality Coalition’s two-year investigation into contamination at San Pedro Creek and Pacifica State Beach, one of the most polluted beaches in the country. Presenters will cover why Linda Mar matters to Salted Roots’ community, the environmental justice dimensions of the water quality crisis, and what two years of weekly bacteria testing and DNA analysis have revealed about the source of contamination. The workshop will close with an introduction to the Linda Mar Community Health Survey, a new tool launching summer 2026 to document the lived health impacts of pollution on surfers, swimmers, and beachgoers and an invitation for Salted Roots community members to help distribute it.
