In Ventura\, storm drains and farm runoff funnel into the ocean un-treated\, polluting our water with motor oil\, fertilizer\, and other contaminants during heavy rain. Click here for more info about the causes of pollution. \nThe solution: Homeowners\, businesses\, and public entities can all help prevent this runoff by turning their landscapes into Ocean Friendly Gardens.
