Run Off Pollution Ravaging River Communities.
Advocacy groups in California are suing a state agency charging it has failed to protect rivers and wetlands from ag toxic pollution. They claim the extensive nitrate pollution in the Central Coast region is endangering low income rural and fishing coastal communities. Community leaders convene to discuss the issues. What’s the proposed remedy? Can farm and fishing communities coexist?
