Abstract
The Southern California Bight (SCB) is a unique and valuable ecological and economic resource. It is also vulnerable to environmental pressures, with >30 million inhabitants. Collectively since 1994, SCB dischargers, regulators, academics, and nongovernmental organizations have collaborated in a regional monitoring program to assess ocean health. In this chapter, we describe the most recent key findings and trends, focusing on sediment quality, trash, beach water quality, and ocean acidification (OA).
