7 7 Take Away Points The Navy in San Diego is growing. Sixty percent of the fleet will shift to the Pacific Region in coming years. The economic impact of the Navy is significant to San Diego. Navy spending has mitigated some of the economic downturn for San Diego. Regulatory requirements have the potential to affect mission sustainment, impact training, and increase the cost to support the fleet. Navy Region Southwest makes every effort to be a good steward to the environment. Through cooperative partnerships with local organizations, the Navy ensures endangered/threatened species proliferate and thrive. Navy Region Southwest is leading the Navy in environmental and energy reform efforts.
