AIR MONITORING IN THE SOUTH BAY COMMUNITY SHOWS ELEVATED POLLUTION DUE TO THE ONGOING SEWAGE CRISIS AND THAT IS ACCORDING TO THE POLLUTION DISTRICT AN AIR MONITOR INSTALLED SHOWED ELEVATED LEVELS OF HYDROGEN SULFIDE AND THAT IS THE TOXIC BYPRODUCT OF SEWAGE THAT CAUSES A ROTTEN EGG SMELL.

THEY'VE BEEN DEALING WITH THE SIDE EFFECTS OF POOR AIR QUALITY FOR YEARS.

RESIDENTS ARE PONDERING THEIR NEXT MOVE.

>> WHAT THE HECK?

WHAT THE HECK, WHY?

WHY?

>> I WORK FOR THE RANCH RIGHT NOW.

>> FINDING AFFORDABLE HOUSING HASN'T BEEN EASY.

FOR MANY, A NEW RV PARK IS OUT OF THE QUESTION BECAUSE THEY ARE TOO OLD.

MANY COMMUNITIES DO NOT ACCEPT RVS 10 YEARS OR OLDER, ALLISON HAS ONE OF THE OLDER RVS.

THEY HAVE BEEN GIVEN LEADS TO RESOURCES BUT BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT CURRENTLY HOMELESS, THOSE LEADS HAVE GONE NOWHERE.

>> SHE SAYS I JUST WAIT UNTIL I AM IN MY CAR AND THEN CALL YOU BECAUSE THEN YOU CAN HELP ME, IF I'M CALLING NOW AND I STILL HAVE HOUSING, YEAH I'M STILL FINE NOW BUT THIS IS LIKE THROUGH THE HOURGLASS.

>> ALLISON AND HER FAMILY HAVE EXPENSE HOMELESSNESS BEFORE.

>> THEY CAN'T HELP YOU UNTIL YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY UNDER THE BRIDGE.

>> SHE FEARS THIS DISPLACEMENT FOR THE FIRST TIME.

>> RV PARK IS ON LAND FOR 70 YEARS.

THE MINISTRY HAS MANAGED A RESOURCE PROGRAM AS WELL AS THE RV PARK.

>> THIS IS A DELICATE ECOSYSTEM THE WAY WE, THE CAMPS, AND THE MINISTRY INTERLOCK AND FUND EACH OTHER, THIS IS, THAT WAS ARIS BABY AND WHEN HE PASSED AWAY THE ONLY PERSON WHO HAD THAT VISION PASSED AWAY.

>> OUR HE WAS THE OWNER OF THE LAND, HE DIED IN 2023 AND MANAGEMENT OF THE LAND WAS PASSED TO A LAND WORD WHICH TERMINATED THE MINISTRIES LEASE.

IT IS WELL-KNOWN THAT THE WATER OFF OF OUR COAST IS A NURSERY FOR JUVENILE WHITE SHARKS BUT UNTIL NOW SCIENTISTS HAVEN'T KNOWN HOW LONG THOSE BABY SHARKS STAY IN THE NURSERY.

THE NORTH COUNTY REPORTER SAYS A NEW STUDY'S SHEDS SOME LIGHT ON THAT.

>> THEY ARE CRIME SWIMMING CERTAIN SPOTS AND IT'S NOT UNUSUAL TO SEE DOLPHINS OR THE OCCASIONAL SHARK >> IT IS REALLY COOL TO SEE.

>> MOST PEOPLE AREN'T AWARE THAT THERE SWIMMING OR SURFING NEXT TO SHARKS ESPECIALLY IN PLACES LIKE DELMAR BUT, ATTACKS ARE RARE.

>>> IT IS DEEMED AN URGENT GLOBAL PUBLIC HEALTH THREATS BY OFFICIALS.

ANTIMICROBIAL RESISTANCE HAPPENED WHEN GERMS NO LONGER RESPOND TO DRUGS DESIGNED TO KILL THE MAKING IT HARDER AND SOMETIMES IMPOSSIBLE TO TREAT INFECTIONS.

WE HAVE MORE ON WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW AND HOW YOU CAN PREVENT INFECTIONS THAT CAN PUT YOU AT RISK.

>> Reporter: IT IS A GROWING THREAT IN THE U.S., MORE THAN 2.8 MILLION ANTIMICROBIAL RESISTANT INFECTIONS HAPPEN EVERY YEAR KILLING MORE THAN 35 THOUSAND PEOPLE ACCORDING TO A 2019 CDC REPORT.

>> IT IS A GROWING PROGRESSION OF ANTIMICROBIAL RESISTANCE THAT MAKES IT ONE OF THE BIGGEST GLOBAL HEALTH ISSUES OF MODERN TIME.

>> Reporter: DON WITH THE CDC SAYS TO FIGHT THIS THREAT, ANTIBIOTIC AND ANTIFUNGAL PRESCRIBING AND USE NEEDS TO IMPROVE.

THE AGENCIES SAYS THAT FAMILY SHOULD ALSO TAKE STEPS TO REDUCE RISK AND HELP STOP THE GERMS FROM SPREADING.

KEEP IT CLEAN AND COVERED, TAKE GOOD CARE OF CHRONIC CONDITIONS LIKE DIABETES AND THE PHENOMENON ALSO HAS THE POTENTIAL TO COMPLICATE NEARLY EVERY HEALTH PROBLEM A PERSON FACES SINCE ADVANCES IN MODERN MEDICINE ARE PINNED GREATLY ON ANTIBIOTICS BEING EFFECTIVE, SHE SAYS IT COULD PUT PERTINENT -- CERTAIN SURGERIES LIKE CANCER THERAPIES AT RISK.

>>> PLANTS USE PHOTOSYNTHESIS TO SURVIVE MAKING OXYGEN AND FOOD IN THE PROCESS BUT NOT ALL PLANTS DO IT IN THE SAME WAY.

KPBS REPORTER SPOKE TO RESEARCHERS WHO ARE TRYING TO MAKE IT BETTER FOR PLANTS THAT ARE KEY FOR OUR SURVIVAL.

>> JOSEPH SMITH IS A MOLECULAR BIOLOGIST WHO SHOWS ME A GREEN HOUSE FULL OF PLANT THAT USE A PHOTOSYNTHESIS CALLED C4.

PLANS LIKE THAT ARE BETTER SUITED TO THRIVE IN DRY AND HOT TEMPERATURES.

>> BECAUSE CLIMATE CHANGE IS GOING TO EXPAND THE NUMBER OF ENVIRONMENTS THAT ARE DRY AS WELL AS HIGH IN TEMPERATURE, THAT IS WHY THIS RESEARCH IS SO IMPORTANT.

>> Reporter: SWIFT WAS CO- AUTHOR OF A PAPER THAT EXAMINED HOW THOSE HEARTY PLANTS EVOLVED MANY YEARS AGO, THE STUDY OFFERED THE PROCESS THAT GENE EDITING COULD GIVE MANY MORE PLANTS THE SAME KIND OF RESILIENT PHOTOSYNTHESIS, TODAY THE VAST MAJORITY OF PLANTS IS STILL USE THE AGENT FORM A PHOTOSYNTHESIS CALLED C3.

THEY INCLUDED SOYBEANS AND SOME OTHER VERY WELL-KNOWN CROPS.

>> RICE, SOYBEAN, AND OTHER CROP SPECIES.

>> WHEAT IS A C3 PLANT, IT WOULD BE HARD TO CONVERT TO C4.

>> Reporter: HE SAYS CONVERTING A PLANTS LIKE RICE FROM C3 TO C4 IS THE ULTIMATE GOAL.

LIKE WHEAT, RICE IS ANOTHER TARGET FOR CONVERSION.

IT IS A NUMBER TWO CROP IN THE WORLD.

CORN, A C4 PLANT IS NUMBER ONE.

>> IF WE ARE ABLE TO ENGINEER A RICE PLANT TO BE A C4 PLANT, WE COULD INCREASE ITS EFFICIENCY FOR PHOTOSYNTHESIS AND YIELD BY 30%.

>> Reporter: THE INCREASED EFFICIENCY OF C4 IS DUE TO ITS ABILITY TO CORRECT SOME PROBLEMS WITH C3.

FOR INSTANCE, CARBON DIOXIDE IS OFTEN MIXED WITH OXYGEN DURING PHOTOSYNTHESIS AND WASTE ENERGY.

CONVERTING C3 PLANTS TO C4 IN THE LAB WILL BE DIFFICULT AND IT COULD REQUIRE 20 YEARS.

THE EXPECTATION OF HIGHER CROP YIELDS IS JUST THAT.

AN EXPECTATION, NOT A CERTAINTY.

BUT HE SAYS ANOTHER EXPECTATION NEARLY 10 BILLION PEOPLE ON EARTH BY 2050 MEANS WE HAVE TO FIGURE OUT A WAY TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO HELP LANCE PRODUCE MORE FOOD.

>> THAT IS REALLY THE GOAL HERE TO TAKE A PLANT THAT HAS A WORLDWIDE IMPORTANCE AND AN INCREASE OF THE GRANULE SO THAT WE HAVE A POPULATION THAT CAN BE FED.

A SERENE SENSORY EXPERIENCE OF SMELL, SOUND, AND SITE.

THE GARDEN IS IMMEDIATELY INVITING YOU TO IMMERSE YOURSELF IN THE HORTICULTURAL BEAUTY OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA.

>> Reporter: AS MUCH IS THE WATER CONSERVATION GARDEN IS ABOUT BEAUTY, IT IS ALSO ABOUT KNOWLEDGE AND KNOWING WHAT KIND OF PLANS WORK BEST IN OUR SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA CLIMATE, HERE WE HAVE AN AVERAGE BACKYARD AND OUR FORLORN LOOKING GARDENER THERE IT USES AN AVERAGE OF 28 THOUSAND GALLONS A YEAR AND THEN THERE IS THIS BACKYARD GARDEN, THE SAME SIZE AS THE OTHER ONE ARGUABLY MUCH BETTER LOOKING AND MUCH BETTER WHEN IT COMES TO CONSERVING WATER.

THIS ONE ONLY USES ABOUT 6000 GALLONS PER YEAR.

>> SAN DIEGO HAVE BECOME ONE OF THE PINNACLES WHEN IT COMES TO SAVING WATER AND WE'RE REALLY PROUD OF IT BECAUSE OF PLACES LIKE THIS IN OUR EDUCATION WORKSHOPS AND PEOPLE CAN COME HERE TO THE GARDEN AND GET REBATE INFORMATION FROM EVERY SINGLE WATER DISTRICT.

THE DISTRICTS GIVE MOST OF THEM, ONE OF THEM, ASHLEY ALPERT WAS HERE WITH HER FIVE- YEAR-OLD SON JADEN IT WAS JADEN'S FIRST VISIT AND IT WAS A MEMORABLE >> DID YOU LIKE TO PRESS THE LITTLE BUTTONS THAT SQUIRTED WATER OUT?

>> YEAH.
