Zalul Environmental Association is an environmental not-for-profit organization committed to protecting and maintaining clean, clear water along Israel’s rivers and shorelines. Founded in 1999 by a group of concerned citizens alarmed by the ongoing degeneration of Israel’s natural water resources and the lack of infrastructure and regulations to safeguard them, Zalul is comprised of a dedicated small team of professionals from various fields, devoted to protecting Israel’s natural heritage and to bring issues of environmental protection to the forefront of the public agenda. Today, Zalul is one of Israel’s leading environmental NGOs.

On March 19, 2008, Zalul Environmental Association exclaimed in a letter to the Mayor of Herzliya, Yael German, "Herzilya's sewage treatment plant, by discharging their effluent to the sea, is responsible for the pollution that has closed Tel Aviv's Tzook Beach."

With the weather beginning to turn sunny and warm, Zalul is turning to Israel's beaches and doing some tikkun olam.

Executive Director of Zalul, Yariv Abramovich, turned to Mayor Yonah Yahav by letter after his agreement to build a pipe to the sea for the effluent of the Kishon factories was concealed from the public by Minister Yehudit Naot in light of the plan's environmental consequences.
