The Harbor Estuary Program (HEP) brings the benefits of the Clean Water Act to the people who live, work, and recreate on our shared waterways. HEP provides a forum and pathways for its partners to develop shared goals and plans for action. By informing the community about the Estuary’s health, HEP provides transparent progress on water quality, recreational access, habitat restoration, and related ecosystem services. HEP connects people with volunteer opportunities, citizen science, scientific research, meetings and seminars, educational materials, and grant opportunities.
