Traditional landscaping practices depend on chemical fertilizers that overload waterways with nutrients, fueling toxic algae blooms that harm coral reefs & seagrasses.
By maintaining green spaces without fertilizer and capturing runoff, Ocean Friendly Gardens can help prevent harmful algal blooms and filter water pollution before it reaches our waterways and groundwater.
As climate change increases the intensity and frequency of harmful algal bloom events, reducing nutrient pollution from our landscapes is more urgent than ever.
