The San Clemente Watershed Task Force is a grassroots citizens’ group founded in 2004 in response to urbanization’s growing impact on the local watershed - including the creeks, beaches, and the Pacific Ocean. These areas are beloved to our community and to the visitors that enjoy them. The Task Force recognizes the watershed’s inherent value, and in that spirit, hopes to fulfill goals created through public discussions and monthly meetings.
