From Surfrider: "The Surfrider Foundation recognizes that protection of the coastal environment requires protection of an interconnected coastal zone that includes the open ocean, near shore water, beaches, estuaries and coastal watersheds. The Surfrider Foundation further recognizes while some coastal lands and beaches have been set for permanent protection as wilderness areas, parks, reserves, preserves, conservation areas, and sanctuaries less than one percent of our marine environment has any protected status. Many of our most valued marine areas have already suffered significant damage from pollution, mismanaged fishing practices and coastal development impacts. The Special Places campaign is designed to identify and protect special ocean and coastal places through the establishment of marine protected areas."

 1 all it takes is a half-hour to make a difference
30 Minute Beach Clean-Up is a cool team of about 150 people each month that go down to Long Beach to help clean the beaches. Everyone is welcome to go help, they meet on the 3rd Saturday of the month. Take some initiative and get down there to tidy our beaches!

Why I Support This Cause! we all need to do our part!
Surfrider is doing something amazing! I live three blocks from the beach and I go there all the time - whenever I see trash lying around I always pick it up and put it in a trash can. I don't understand why people don't understand that we all need to do our part in making our world beautiful!

Anyone who has ever been to a beautiful beach can understand this cause! We need to preserve the beautiful coastline we have and work together to keep it clean.

Well I love going to the beach, but i do not like going to dirty beaches. It's great that the Surfrider Foundation is acknowledging that. We all should take a stand and do something about the pollution!!!
