Surfrider Foundation Newport Beach Chapter

Description

Surfrider Strategic Initiatives
The core activities and campaigns that the Surfrider Foundation uses to protect our oceans, waves and beaches fall into the categories of Clean Water, Beach Access, Beach Preservation and Protecting Special Places. Through conservation like using a reusable shopping bag instead of a single use plastic bag and a thermos instead of a single use plastic cup or bottle we help reduce waste that inevitably ends up in a landfill or worse the ocean. Through Activism like sharing conservation programs with others, our mission grows and takes new life. Through Research like with our water test programs we keep knowledgeable about the current state of the beach and its health. Through education we make others aware of the important work that needs to be done in order to keep the Beaches healthy and accessible. It's not all about surfing. It's about keeping the environment healthy so that the surf will still be there for tomorrow.
