Abstract
The use of copper antifouling hull paints has caused contamination in the Shelter Island Yacht Basin (SIYB) of San Diego Bay and led to the development of a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL). The regulation to reduce copper levels has been faced with non-compliance from the SIYB boating community. This is a sign that educational efforts have been unsuccessful. Education about the need for the regulation and how the named polluters and local businesses can voluntarily comply with no adverse economic impacts is crucial for meeting the regulatory copper reductions. This capstone project presents an education plan that has the potential to enhance voluntary compliance with the copper TMDL.
