Since the 1970’s, untreated sewage flows have polluted the river, contaminating beaches from the California communities of Coronado to La Jolla and disrupting both military operations and civilian life.

For Naval Special Warfare units, the ocean is an operational environment. SEAL candidates train daily in the surf zone, practicing…
