Where are they now? Alison Fisher, a former Nature Collective Water Quality Intern.

Alison now works for the Vallecitos Water District in San Marcos.

Alison uses similar techniques in analyzing data and taking measurements that she initially learned as a Nature Collective Water Quality Intern.

The constituents measured for lagoon water quality (pH, turbidity, DO, temp) are also true in her current position.

She’s currently an assistant engineer in Capital Facilities at Vallecitos Water District, where they manage the design and construction of new and replacement water/wastewater infrastructure.

“Working at the lagoon will always be a favorite experience of mine,” said Alison. “I’m so grateful for the opportunity.”

Alison still visits the San Elijo Lagoon, walking its trails with friends and family. “Everything is so beautiful!”

Did you know...a new we**am was installed at San Elijo Beach, sponsored by the Southern California Coastal Ocean Observing System, based at Scripps Institution of Oceanography. It will capture large wave activity this winter - something that will be interesting to watch in this El Nino season.

This 2026 El Niño is forecast to become one of the strongest on record, with widespread global impacts anticipated through winter 2026-2027.

Coastal Cleanup Day is observed annually on the third Saturday of September, making Sept. 19 the official date. It is part of the International Coastal Cleanup, a global volunteer effort to remove litter from beaches, rivers, and waterways. There are statewide cleanups taking place throughout the state this month. Just a nice reminder to take care of our trails and leave no trace behind as we enjoy the outdoors.

Look up. The sky right above you may be part of the great Pacific Flyway. Along this sky path, more than a billion birds will begin an epic migration.

Navigating the sun, moon, stars, and dramatic landscapes, a bird may go on a long journey that has been taken every single fall season for millions of years. From Alaska to Patagonia, many birds will arrive here at San Elijo Lagoon.

You know the importance of a safe and healthy habitat for vulnerable wildlife. San Elijo Lagoon is vital home. Will you help keep San Diego a natural haven for birds with a donation?

Are you ready to turn your passion for nature into lasting impact?

At Nature Collective, we work every day to restore important habitats, protect local wildlife, and ensure that everyone has the chance to connect with and benefit from the natural world. Our goal is simple: to inspire a passion for nature in everyone.

To guide this important work, we are looking for dedicated leaders to join our Board of Directors. Applications for the 2027-2029 Board Term are open through September 30, 2026. To learn more, check out our website.
