San Diego Coastkeeper welcomes East Coast transplant to helm
San Diego Coastkeeper announced this week that Phillip Musegaas will take over in October as the water-quality nonprofit’s new executive director. He’s moving from Washington, D.C., where he worked for more than seven years as the Potomac Riverkeeper Network’s vice president of programs and litigation. He’ll replace the group’s outgoing leader Matt O’Malley, who took over in late 2016. The nonprofit has recently focused on improving the region’s ailing stormwater system, backing water recycling efforts and calling attention to leaky sewage pipes linked to beach closures.
