Surfrider Foundation

Various environmental activities such as grass roots volunteer organizing, promoting reduction in single use plastics, promoting ocean friendly garden techniques, promoting beach water quality, beach access and beach and wave preservation.

Plastic pollution initiatives - we encourage individuals, industry and governments to protect our ocean, waves and beaches by reducing plastics in the marine environment. Our rise above plastics and ocean friendly restaurants programs advocate for a reduction in single use plastics, for the recycling of all plastics and drives change in behavior that creates scalable impact to reduce plastics in the ocean.

Clean water initiative - we protect our coastal waterways, communities, and widlife from water pollution by focusing on two main programs. These programs are the blue water task force (bwtf) and ocean friendly gardens (ofg). Chapters also run campaigns against projects that will cause pollution and advocate for wise management of our land and water resources.

Coast & climate initiative - we are using powerful nature-based solutions to help mitigate the effects of climate change on our coasts by planting mangroves, restoring dunes and restoring freshwater estuaries.
